We are a team of international researchers led by Professor Katie Hampson working on #rabies elimination science at the University of Glasgow #zeroby30

[Anna Czupryna @AniaCzupryna]

Hongera Sana to Dr @KenyLushasi on successfully defending his PhD thesis!!🎉 @rabidbites @NM_AIST @UofGlasgow @AfriqueOneREACH @ifakarahealth

[Kirstyn Brunker @kirstynbrunker]

❗️Job Alert: We are excited to be recruiting a bioinformatician to work on deployable virus sequencing projects (rabies biased 😉)! Position with @UofG_SBOHVM, embedded within @CVRbioinfo. Please share: ➡️https://t.co/jbMyEDS04f

@RachelSSteenson @CHollyWalker Omggg yesss. But whyyyyyy???😭😭

[Kirstyn Brunker @kirstynbrunker]

🔎New paper! Congrats to @ThatKatC on her @PLOSPathogens publication! 𝕄𝔸𝔻 𝔻𝕆𝔾: a tool to define and interpret #rabies virus lineages in aid of disease #surveillance & control. Brilliant stuff😉, check it out!

Learning about how we can use #wholegenomesequencing to eliminate #rabies #virus at #PintOfScience #minion #sciencecommunication #zeroby2030 @pintofscience @IBAHCM @ThatKatC @nanopore @hampson_katie @AniaCzupryna

Good luck to @ThatKatC who will be giving a #PintOfScience2022 talk on #rabies elimination in Glasgow tonight. Not too late to go- doors at 7!

[Kathryn Campbell @ThatKatC]

If anyone in Glasgow is looking for something to do on Monday night; come along to Websters Bar and Bistro for Pint of Science where I'll be talking about rabies elimination!
Tickets are £5: https://t.co/CcPO9M1ajA
Would be great to see some friendly faces there!

10 years later and we're all still going strong in #rabiesresearch. Looks like we're overdue for a #10yearchallenge! #fieldworkfriday #Tanzania #zeroby2030 #womeninthefield #womeninscience @kirstynbrunker @AniaCzupryna

Tuning into a great talk today by Dr. Caroline Trotter on the Cost-Effectiveness of Vaccinations #costeffectiveness #vaccination #rabies #womeninscience @CEMA_Africa @hampson_katie @kirstynbrunker @IBAHCM @UofGlasgow

[UofG SBOHVM @UofGSBOHVM]

Awesome work from @hampson_katie, @RebeccaMancy & the whole team: dog-mediated rabies remains endemic & kills tens of thousands of people annually, & its persistent circulation at low prevalence in unvaccinated populations is an enduring enigma - & here’s the answer 👇🏻

[RabidBites @rabidbites]

A rabid bite: congrats to Dr @DK_Meza in @DanielStreicker group for passing her PhD viva on Friday!

[UofG MVLS @UofGMVLS]

🆕 study in @ScienceMagazine led by @hampson_katie sheds new light on why dog-mediated rabies — a fatal disease which kills thousands of people in Africa every year — remains endemic in affected regions, despite an overall low virus prevalence.

Sequencing #rabies virus for PhD followed by training colleagues. The 2 key elements of our approach to @nanopore seq in East Africa! Led by boss lady @Gurdeep_Jaswant, with thanks to @KCRITanzania for lab space! #WomenInScience

[RabidBites @rabidbites]

@ThatKatC @kirstynbrunker Don't know why I called you a "cheeky elf" btw 🤣

[RabidBites @rabidbites]

This is adapted from a lineage nomenclature system developed for #SARSCoV2. But- #rabies virus has been around for much longer so there are some unique challenges to adapting this system!

She has developed handy tools so anyone can apply this system to a set of RABV sequences and has released a preprint to explain the whole process- check it out 👇
