We are a team of international researchers led by Professor Katie Hampson working on #rabies elimination science at the University of Glasgow #zeroby30
โ๏ธJob Alert: We are excited to be recruiting a bioinformatician to work on deployable virus sequencing projects (rabies biased ๐)! Position with @UofG_SBOHVM, embedded within @CVRbioinfo. Please share: โก๏ธhttps://t.co/jbMyEDS04f

๐New paper! Congrats to @ThatKatC on her @PLOSPathogens publication! ๐๐ธ๐ป ๐ป๐๐พ: a tool to define and interpret #rabies virus lineages in aid of disease #surveillance & control. Brilliant stuff๐, check it out!
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 ยฃ5: https://t.co/CcPO9M1ajA
Would be great to see some friendly faces there!
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 - & hereโs the answer ๐๐ป
๐ study in @ScienceMagazine led by @hampson_katie sheds new light on why dog-mediated rabies โ a fatal disease which kills thousands of people in Africa every year โ remains endemic in affected regions, despite an overall low virus prevalence.

Gurdeep churning out #rabies genomes before the Xmas break! Work supported by Gurdeep's fantastic GeMVi @KEMRI_Wellcome fellowship and @uonbi @IBAHCM PhD
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 ๐
