Coming to #IDWeek2024? Check out 3 of our sessions!

- WGS symposia moderated by our own @SundermannAJ along with @costisifri. Presentations by @LabMigel head @LeeHarrisonID, @liliabbo, & Emily Snavely

- WGS of respiratory virus by @vatsalars

- WGS cost analysis by Kady Waggle!

[Krisandra Allen @KrisandraA]

I'm excited to share the next interview in my "Meet a genomic epidemiologist" series. The interviewee is @SundermannAJ , and he shares his journey from undergraduate studies through to his current work applying genomic epidemiology for infection prevention and control.

Bravo, @MatthewCulyba (@TheCulybaLab) and @SundermannAJ!
Congratulations to you both for this well-deserved honor. 🩺👨‍💻

[Nick Moore, Ph.D., D(ABMM) @nmoore07]

@Illinois_micro is back from lunch. Kicking off our afternoon is Dr. @SundermannAJ and sharing experiences of whole genome sequencing to detect clusters in real time. CC: @LabMigel and @PittTweet

Today our lab celebrated two of our students’ graduations, Hunter & Shurmin! 🎉

[ID Pitt Stop @IDPittStop]

A big congrats to the #infectiousdiseases team at #DOMResearchDay2024 🎉
Cheers to Abigail Gerberick for her best poster award and 2nd-year fellow, Mina Said, for his plenary presentation! Shoutout to all the ID division researchers as well for their efforts! #idpittstop

Sequencing Surveillance Improves Outbreak Detection in Hospital at Affordable Costs https://t.co/9Pp5w3CXLO

[MiGEL @LabMigel]

🚨NEW pre-print from Waggle et al in @LabMigel

➡️We describe the laboratory, sequencing, and bioinformatics methods for our in-house bacterial WGS surveillance program

💰We calculate (including FTEs) WGS to be ~$91/isolate = feasible & affordable!

.@LabMigel had our lab safety meeting lead by our lab manager, Kady Waggle

Don’t mouth pipette!

It’s a busy day in @LabMigel! Our real-time WGS surveillance of healthcare-associated COVID-19 is up and running

[Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology @ICHEJournal]

New from @TedRader4MD et al

Using mixed methods, @IDPittstop demonstrated utility of a selective reactive whole-genome sequencing approach to determine transmission pathways in outbreaks of COVID-19 across a healthcare system

Congratulations to the winner of this week’s Spot Award, Deena Ereifej! Deena is a Research Assistant with the Microbial Genomics and Epidemiology Laboratory. Her contributions to EDS-HAT help identify infections sooner and save patient lives. Thank you!
#idpittstop #spotawards

[MiGEL @LabMigel]

Today @LabMigel and the @UPMC Presbyterian Infection Prevention team met to discuss the past 2-years of real-time WGS surveillance for outbreak detection & intervention

We shared our findings, analysis plans, wins, and next steps of EDS-HAT for our successful collaboration
