There were so many great updates at London Calling #nanoporeconf this year -- here's a selection I found particularly exciting for the field of microbial genomics 🦠 with the latest @nanopore announcements (a thread 🧵)

[Anna (Ganna) Kovalenko @AnnaKov1988]

Today dressed as @nanopore sequencing screen💚🧬 Happy to present our research #nanoporeconf #LondonCalling2024 Wish to master your genomic surveillance? Come and get by with a little HELP from our protocol 😎 poster #20 @NetworkArtic

[Oxford Nanopore @nanopore]

Don't miss this panel on "Building a rapid, targeted, & responsive infectious disease system" at the #nanoporeconf Clinical & Biopharma Day! Join experts Dr. Inès Hassan, Dr. Chuck Cooper, Dr. Rahul Batra, & Heather Carleton for groundbreaking insights: https://t.co/bI8kzKRZEx

#PostDoc job alert! Recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to work on a new project (you decide how exciting it is) that will use #phylodynamics to assess the effect of the war and displacement on HIV transmission in Ukraine. Please apply :) https://t.co/Y17ZFA3yKQ

@TanyaVasylyeva @UCIPublicHealth Congratulations Tanyusha - amazing news 😊🎉🙏 so so happy for you and excited to follow your next chapter!!!

[Valeria Lulla @LullaValeria]

📢How do viruses infect neuronal cells? We’re happy to share the first paper from the lab led by @HashimA44477600 and 🔥hot off the press @PLOSBiology! We found ‘hotspots’ in genomes of neurotropic human astroviruses that allow them to infect neurons!

Following the viral transmission dynamics in a country at war can be challenging. Focusing on internally displaced people who inject drugs, researchers created a phylogenetic tree using 34 HIV sequences from volunteers in Odessa, Ukraine. In PNAS Nexus: https://t.co/zIyaa8JdWz

[Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination @GlobalHep]

@medical_xpress @CDCgov @NCICNHS @Labiotech_eu @Global_hep @BMCMedicine A study in @biomedcentral identified 8 #HCV transmission clusters within internally displaced persons who inject drugs in Ukraine, highlighting the importance of implementing urgent preventive interventions in ongoing situations of forced displacement. https://t.co/AkGYVLZJzn

@AnnaKov1988 and Rhys Izuagbe presenting the @NetworkArtic lab-in-a-suitcase and it’s application for HIV/HCV in Ukraine at @emblebi

[Anna Yakovleva @AYakov23]

We ran @nanopore #MinION training to help build local infectious disease surveillance capacity in Odesa and Kyiv, Ukraine - together with our team we generated the first set of publicly available Ukrainian HCV genomes - on GenBank! @AnnaKov1988 @TanyaVasylyeva @allianceforph

[Anna Yakovleva @AYakov23]

We use @nanopore #MinION & phylogenetics to understand needs for #HCV prevention in context of forced displacement & limited lab capacity @BioMedCentral

[Anna Yakovleva @AYakov23]

We used a "lab-in-a-suitcase" approach in a field-simulated environment to demonstrate feasibility of obtaining insights on #HCV transmission dynamics that could help inform targeted public health HCV interventions for IDPs in Ukraine @AnnaKov1988 @TanyaVasylyeva
