@ceri_news @houzhou @EduanWilkinson @fiocruz Agree 😅

[Joicymara Xavier, PhD @joicy_xavier]

We are always very serious about the group photo competition at #VEME. So, this year we brought #VEME2024 message to Rio de Janeiro with a view of the Christ the Redeemer! ✨@houzhou @EduanWilkinson Jenicca

The official opening of #VEME2024 at @OPASOMSBrasil in Brasília, Brazil. #VEME2024 has been held in 18 countries across 28 editions. This year, we have participants from 33 countries and teachers from 12 countries.

[Joicymara Xavier, PhD @joicy_xavier]

Heading to Brasília to teach at #VEME2024 after a week enjoying the end of the holidays with my African friends in Rio de Janeiro. It was an incredible week of lots of Brazilian culture and tours to Rio's main tourist attractions.

Please, read the paper at: https://t.co/ZhMlxKLEoH

[Joicymara Xavier, PhD @joicy_xavier]

This interface is specifically crafted to acquire images, and, utilizing the image recognition capabilities afforded by the trained CNN, proffer potential identifications for the macrofungal species depicted therein.

[Joicymara Xavier, PhD @joicy_xavier]

This technology can democratize access to the Brazilian Funga, thereby enhancing public engagement and knowledge dissemination, facilitating contributions from the populace to the expanding body of knowledge concerning the conservation of Brazilian macrofungal species.

[Joicymara Xavier, PhD @joicy_xavier]

The purpose of utilizing this database is twofold: firstly, to furnish training and validation for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with the capacity for autonomous identification of macrofungal species; secondly, to develop a sophisticated mobile application.

[Joicymara Xavier, PhD @joicy_xavier]

The work is also a partnership with the Mind.Funga group from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC).

In this study, we employ a structured database assembled by experts, encompassing 13,894 photographs from 505 distinct species of macrofungi collected in Brazil.

[Joicymara Xavier, PhD @joicy_xavier]

New paper published! This was the first collaboration with Prof. Aristoteles Goes Neto after my graduation. Prof. Aristoteles was one of the coordinators of the Bioinformatics PhD program, and it is a pleasure to have him as a colleague and mentor nowadays.

Our paper "SARS-CoV-2 Genomic Epidemiology Dashboards: A Review of Functionality and Technological Frameworks for Public Health Response", published in Genes, is now online.

This paper reviews the genomic epidemiological dashboards developed to monitor the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

[Joicymara Xavier, PhD @joicy_xavier]

An important strength of genomic epidemiology dashboards is their adaptability to present information on novel, emerging, or re-emerging pathogens. So that, they can be used to respond to future outbreaks and epidemics by presenting data in near-real time.
