Dr. Deogracious Protas Massawe

Principal Research Coordinator Tanzania Commission for science and Technology

Dr. Deogracious Protas is a Scientist at the Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH), with a PhD in Plant Pathology (Molecular Virology and Bioinformatics) from The Ohio State University, USA. His research expertise spans plant molecular diagnostics, viral pathogen detection, and crop improvement for disease resistance. At COSTECH, he has led national and international science initiatives and contributed to agricultural innovation dissemination.

Dr. Protas’ research focuses on strengthening food security through the development and deployment of advanced diagnostic tools for plant pathogens. His doctoral work utilized high-throughput sequencing (HTS) to detect and characterize known and novel viruses in maize and blueberry, with a significant contribution to understanding maize lethal necrosis (MLN) in Tanzania. This work aligns closely with CIMMYT’s efforts on MLN diagnostics and prevention of seed transmission.

Property owners and tenants can claim and track their property to monitor the estimated value and learn about recent sales for similar properties. By understanding your relationship to the property, we can tailor what we show and send you to make it more relevant to your situation. 

There is no limit to the number of properties you can track. Once you have tracked a property you will be able to track additional properties, make changes to your property relationship and change your primary property.

Price estimates are calculated by PropTrack Australia by looking at multiple properties and local market data points, which together can provide insight into the approximate value of a property.
