In beautiful Brisbane for #CDIC2024, looking forward to chatting and presenting on shigella genomics and public health and the many exciting talks 🧬🧬

Genomic data is not powerful enough without epidemiological data #cdic2024

What better way to end a thought-provoking three days at #CDIC2024 than a debate on ‘Decisions during public health emergencies should be evidence based and not influenced by politics’ 💬

We were excited to hear about the priorities of the Aus CDC and think about the areas where #pathogengenomics will be able to contribute to public health #OneHealth #CDIC2024

Had the pleasure of presenting shigella genomics 🧬 work last week Australian Pathogen Genomics Program - we used a national collection of 5k sequences, identifying previously unidentified case clusters in Australia, unique clones to east vs central and northern Australia, MDR and XDR Public Health Australia

Kicking off the first Centre for Pathogen Genomics workshop UniMelb MDHS Doherty Institute at the Global Health Security 2024 (18 June - 21 June) 🇦🇺grateful to have this global platform to share some of our learnings and diverse expertise in the Asia Pacific region (and not being the jet lagged ones for once!)

Registrations are now open for the 'Pathogen Genomics for Public Health - Panel Discussion Series' hosted by CDGN The first session on Bacterial STIs will take place on Thursday 18 July, registrations via the following link 👉go.unimelb.edu.au/2co8

An interesting application of pathogen genomics looking at fungal pathogens in pine trees🧬🌲 Did you know Australian Pathogen Genomics Program is researching a fungal pathogen ourselves, Candida auris? You can read about the project on our website 🔗auspathogen.org.au/studies/candid…

Did you know that thousands of sequences from across Australia have been contributed to the Australian Pathogen Genomics Program Program across several priority pathogens?🦠🧬You can see our monthly tracking numbers on the website and read more about the individual pathogens too👉auspathogen.org.au

A reminder to register ahead of the first session in the Panel Discussion series taking place this Thursday 18 July👉go.unimelb.edu.au/2co8

Beautiful paper on B.pseudomallei - the Queensland perspective 🧬

Registrations are now open for the "Introduction to Metagenomic Sequencing" webinar, co-hosted with CDGN 🧬🦠 The sessions will be taking place across Tue 13 & Thu 15 August, make sure to register via the link🔗go.unimelb.edu.au/gtu8

This week, AusPathoGen brought together representatives from each jurisdictional health department around Australia to present on the program's research outputs, and discuss working together to optimise national genomic surveillance approaches. Thank you to those who joined!

This month's tracking numbers of sequences of priority pathogens from across Australia are now up on the website🦠🧬Follow the link to read more about the individual pathogen projects👉auspathogen.org.au

The panel discussion on "Implementation and accreditation" in the CDGN & Australian Pathogen Genomics Program "Introduction to metagenomic sequencing" webinar is well underway with some facinating perspectives from our panellists 🧬🦠
