We have a handful of abstract slots left, so if you have something you can put together last minute, please submit it today!

Phew! Research scientist application interview complete. A great opportunity @nswdpi affords scientists in the research space to progress their careers. Now the hard part... The wait.

Don't forget to register for #MicroSeq2022 by 5 Sept. We have an AWESOME program lined up and lots of cool prizes (including best question!). Looking forward to seeing you there!

Taking the first bite out of #MicroSeq2022 we’ve got the fantastic Dr Charlotte Oskam 👩🏻‍💻🧬👩🏻‍🏫🦠 giving a plenary talk on the tripartite interactions in tick-borne diseases! Chaired by Shazia Ruybal Pesántez and Alistair Legione

First up for this session of #MicroSeq2022, plenary speaker Dan Knight walks us through genomic and one health studies of clostridium difficile infection

Great talk from Johanna Wong today representing some of the diagnostic research coming out of NSW DPI biosecurity.

Our first plenary of the day is Barbara Brito who will share the challenges of interpreting the metatranscriptome in cattle health and disease #MicroSeq2022

So how is Cas9 integrated into nanopore sequencing? This integration takes advantage of the speed and discriminatory power of nanopore sequencing and the specificity and flexibility of Cas9 #MicroSeq2022

Next up is Paul Worden who’s sequenced 400 Australian Paenibacillus larvae isolates and compared them against many European P. larvae isolates. Spoiler alert: he’s found putative honeybee disease super spreaders!

Arrived in Tasmania yesterday so Ashlea Webster can give a presentation at AAVLD and I can sit in the hotel room working on funding proposals 👍
