🎓 Just unlocked the secrets of SARS-CoV-2's genomic structure! 🧬✨ Completed an amazing course on Making Sense of Genomic Data: COVID-19 Web-Based Bioinformatics by @eventsWCS and @COG_Train 🔍🌍

[Pathogen Genomic Lab - INRB @labgenpath]

With the aim of continuing to strengthen national and regional genomic surveillance capacity on the continent, @AfricaCDC, in collaboration with @ASLM_News and @inrb_kinshasa welcome 20 participants from 9 African countries (Burundi, Chad, Cameroon, CAR, DRC, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of Congo and São Tomé) for a Training Workshop from May 29 to June 9, 2023 on Viral Genome Sequencing and Bioinformatics Analyses. This activity takes place at @inrb_kinshasa through its @labgenpath.

Very excited to have been in Geneva for the last 5 days with @WHO to launch the International Pathogen Surveillance Network. Lots of work as we form a global community of practice. An option piece on its significance to other pathogens - https://t.co/h9LZ0UDOTN

✍️ The goal of the project was to increase community understanding SARS-CoV-2, its mutations, variant waves & vaccine development, dispel myths, and increase vaccine uptake in Malawi.

[COG-Train @COG_Train]

📝 The project included a training course in communicating scientific and health information, particularly about SARS-CoV-2 variants, for health professionals across the three main regions in the country 🇲🇼

📻 The project included a series of radio programmes on national and community radio stations to educate local communities about the SARS-CoV-2 virus and wider topics, such as vaccines and virus mutations.

[COG-Train @COG_Train]

To support vaccine uptake for various pathogens, the project team contributed to the launch of a comic book focusing on vaccines and vaccine uptake, entitled ���One for All, All for One”. The book is available in English and Chichewa, Yao and Tumbuka.

✍️ The expert local insights of the project team on the ground in Malawi ensured that the training was targeted to local audiences. This project further reinforces the @COG_Train ethos of working with local in-country experts to achieve the best results.
