Proud and thankful for positive reception we've had on our approach to embedding pathogen genomics research at the public health interface
@auspathogen
National collaboration has been critical for generating evidence for use and impact of genomics-informed public health in Aus.
#SchulichMedDent researchers secure over $7M in CIHR funding. This boost supports research to combat antibiotic resistance and develop a promising new surgical technique to improve organ donation recovery, among other projects. Learn more:

Well deserved grant 🎉for one of the best bioinformatics scientists in clinical/public health micro 🤩 We will all be waiting in anticipation for what you build next!!!
I am excited to win a CZI EOSS grant! This is the first grant I have ever won after 20+ years in science. It feels wonderful to finally be funded for my open-source contributions. With @wytamma we will deliver the next generation of my popular Snippy software! 🦘🦘🦘
Two more nights til start of @CSM_SCM2024#CSM2024@CSM_SCM. We now have 568 registered. Online registration link is closed, but don’t be disappointed - you can still register on site in North Campus Building @WesternU. Book your seat now! Please repost!
Seq data of varying quality can be used for different public health applications (analysis, training, more). @pha4ge standardized QC tags help users share, triage, and identify a wider array of data in public repos. For more info, see: https://t.co/gOpsyK1kBL hot off the presses!
First paper from my student Daria Frolova's PhD now on biorxiv:

The key question: plasmids change structurally ~as fast as they mutate, so how can we decide whether 2 plasmids are "the same plasmid" for epi purposes?

OMG this week in microbiology (TWIM) podcast 303 (https://t.co/lxEKxRpcSt) talks about our CRyPTIC project to sequence ~12,000 M. tuberculosis isolates from 23 countries and obtain quantitative resistance phenotypes for 13 drugs. (Paper here: https://t.co/EEpafWmIpA ).
