Absolutely thrilled and honored to receive an @NSF CAREER award from CISE that will support the development of computational approaches for biosecurity & biosurveillance. Special shoutout to the amazing PhD students in my group at @RiceCompSci @Rice_BIOE: https://t.co/5Qr33fXis1

[Rice Engineering and Computing @RiceEngineering]

Congrats to @RiceCompSci computational biologist Todd Treangen, who is the fourth Rice Engineering faculty member to win the @NSF CAREER Award this year! The grant will support his development of a computational platform to spot yet-unseen pathogens.

Great day in my life!! Finally defended my Ph.D.!
I can’t do this without the guidance of my Ph.D. advisor @traingene and my co-advisor @sedlazeck!
I’ll soon join @sedlazeck’s group at as an postdoc focusing on cancer genetics and cancer epigenetics.

[The Ken Kennedy Institute @ricekenkennedy]

Rice University's @traingene and @vyao will be hosting the 2nd annual #RADGenomics Workshop at the #AIHealthConference on October 9, 2023.

"Reading, Assembling, Analyzing & Designing Genomic Data." View details at https://t.co/AzWVRlPnMx.

Just over a week to go for JXTX Scholarships for @CSHL Genome Informatics! The application process is lightweight and just needs a short statement of goals in addition to your conf abstract. Please help spread the word! https://t.co/P55pGft2MB

Our final speaker of #CINEMAParis2023 is Dr. Laurent Moulin from @eaudeparis, talk: “SARS CoV 2 genome monitoring in wastewater by the French OBEPINE network, deciphering the viral dynamics and VOC evolution”

Great work on wastewater pathogen monitoring in Paris @lauren_stadler

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

Day 6 of #CinemaParis2023 is just underway! Great group discussion on relevant research questions for microbiome data led by @kristendcurry. This afternoon will focus on analyzing datasets the participants brought with them & prep for final presentations tomorrow @lauren_stadler

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

Day 5 of #Cinema2023 was superb! @AlexDilthey and @kristendcurry described techniques for microbiome profiling, then @ZaminIqbal was our invited speaker and gave a great talk on "Using revived 100-year old bacteria and new algorithms to study plasmid evolution"

Day 4 of #CinemaParis2023: my former colleague at @institutpasteur, Dr. Sara Vieira-Silva (now Professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University Medical Center in Germany) presenting on gut microbiome, clinical metagenomics and population level studies 🦠🧬@saramavs @lauren_stadler

[Lauren Stadler @lauren_stadler]

#CINEMAParis day 3- learning and collaboratively working on environmental microbiome analysis led by @jesethdv ! @traingene @RiceUniversity

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

Only at #CINEMAParis, live @nanopore sequencing run of a zymo mock microbiome by @Scalene next to lighting talk session🔥

We will dive into bioinformatics methods for environmental and clinical microbiome analysis over the next few days !

(Ps. @Scalene said it was a good run!)

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

Day 2 of #CINEMA2023 is just getting started at the @RiceUniversity Paris Center!🦉🇫🇷

Today features a full-day, interactive tutorial on microbiome sampling and sequencing 🦠🧬, led by Dr. Joshua Quick (@Scalene), with CINEMA co-director @lauren_stadler moderating todays session

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

That's a wrap for the first day of CINEMA 2023 (https://t.co/b8YK4PYGaC) at @RiceUniversity Global Paris Center

Dr. Nicola Segata (@nsegata) kicked things off with a wonderful keynote on “Large-scale strain-level computational metagenomics of the human microbiome”

On to day 2!

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

Really excited to see fresh Parsnp at #ASMicrobe , @BKille has been working on some exciting (and long overdue) improvements to Parsnp (https://t.co/IYSC4mzQj4). More updates soon!

[Nicolae Sapoval @SapovalNicolae]

Caught‘em all! Found the final @traingene lab poster at the #ASMicrobe @BKille talking about Parsnp

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

Great talk by @DrRitaColwell at #ASMMicrobe titled "Cholera in the time of climate change"

Dr. Colwell covered over 40 years of research on pathogen🦠 surveillance and ended by highlighting recent study on microbiome analysis for wastewater surveillance:

[Yilei Fu @fuyilei96]

#ASMicrobe folks if of interest attend my rapid fire talk & poster tomorrow! It focuses on antibiotic resistance detection in wastewater with various approaches! This work is joint first author work with @EstherGeLou2 and great collaboration with the Stadler lab @lauren_stadler

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

I look forward to attending #ASMicrobe over the next 3 days! Posters/talks from students in my group: antibiotic resistance + nanopore sequencing (@fuyilei96), QuaID (@SapovalNicolae), Olivar (Michael Wang), Parsnp (@BKille), SeqScreen Nano(@AdvaitBalaji), & Squeegee (@beleafsTX)

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

@dposada_ @RiceUniversity moitas grazas, David! faime moita ilusion recibir os parabéns teus dúas décadas despois de empezar a miña viaxe académica desde Galicia. Ata loguiño e apertas!

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

1/2: Overjoyed to share that I was promoted to Associate Professor with #tenure at @RiceUniversity! Profound thanks to my amazing lab members, mentors and collaborators. From a PhD student in Barcelona till now, my journey spans 20 years, 3 countries, 5 languages & 8 institutions

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

@LuanLab @leilichn @RiceUniversity Thank you, and many congratulations to you as well Lan!

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

@dnasko @RiceUniversity awesome, I will def be around and presenting on a couple of days. look forward to it

[Todd J Treangen @traingene]

@The_Real_Shrops @RiceUniversity thanks, Will!
