“COG-UK changed the culture for us, rather than working in isolated laboratories around the UK, we are now working in teams. I think that this collaborative working is the future of science.” Emma Thomson @CVR_CEMV_group MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research 🔗 cogconsortium.uk/how-the-covid-…

Say farewell to COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium. Thanks for all their great work! They were a model of successful scientific collaboration & open data sharing that should be emulated in other places of the world if we would ever end up in a new pandemic!

Thank you for your contributions to a better world.

👏🏼

The COG-UK was a great example! We did study them very well and based the model of the Network of Genomics Surveillance in South Africa (NGS-SA) on their model of federated labs! Sad to say farewell to them and hope they build on their success as we are trying to do in SA.

Thank you to all the hundreds of people involved in COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium COG-Train, many of whom put their research on hold to demonstrate the power of genomic surveillance for combatting the pandemic. Your work has been inspirational and world leading 👏💪🙏

Three years since the official start of UK lockdown, three years of COG-UK. I'm really proud to have worked with them since 2021 as part of the world-changing COG-Train project.

Our paper investigating risk factors for Covid-19 severity is finally out in PLOS One ! 🏥 🦠 Another piece of work that is a product of teamwork and collaboration! 👇 journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Exceptional achievements! And indeed their contributed big genomic data would help us understand viral evolutionary dynamics at pandemic scale in the decades to come and train next-generation scientists.

1. Millions of SARS-COV-2 genomes have been sequenced since #COVID began. Helping to track the evolution and spread of the pandemic in real time, this sequencing was led by #COGUK, the subject of a new exbibition whatisbiotechnology.org/index.php/exhi…

Using a rich collection of 85 interviews and multiple historical sources, the exhibition explores how a community of over 600 members came together to break the COVID code and brought about a revolution in genomic surveillance to inform public health.
