Great opportunity for all budding bioinformaticians in Africa!

Hey Guys, don't miss this masterclass. The future of our generations matters!!!

📢📢Thrilled to share our manuscript titled Ifakara MasterClasses: lessons from leading experts on the battle against malaria, published now in Trends in Parasitology. Special thanks to co-authors Fredros Okumu, Nana Aba Williams, Sheila Ogoma, and April Monroe! cell.com/trends/parasit…

The mind boggles!!!!

Working on wastewater surveillance for public health and in need of suitable QA/QC? Help us to deliver new reference materials EU_ScienceHub EU HERA European Commission and fill in these two surveys: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runne… and ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runne…

A low-throughput solution 😆?

Improving all the time.....

Heading home after an inspiring #MalariaGenomics Convening in Dakar. Wonderful to connect with Gates Foundation grantees and partners and hear about their science

Ooh yea! Miles Benton from Oxford Nanopore giving us a tech update. Info on dorado, duplex, and accuracy. Things are looking really good accuracy wise now. In my opinion it's probably time for researchers to retire the story of accuracy issues

Many congratulations to soulama issiaka #malaria researcher GRAS-BURKINA who is the ASTMH Alan Magill Fellow and a Gates Foundation grantee 👏🏻👏🏻

Delighted to be a part of this article. Excited to see how nanopore platforms can be leveraged to enable affordable, near real-time, in-country sequencing for malaria molecular surveillance.... Deus Ishengoma, Jonathan Parr, @DoctorBaz, Will Hamilton authors.elsevier.com/c/1hy295Eb1xFU…

Out now in Trends in Parasitology 📄 Read about the opportunities and challenges in deploying nanopore sequencing technologies for #malaria molecular surveillance in endemic settings.

In a recent @naturecomms paper, the @PATHTweets #NOMADS team present a flexible and cost-effective approach they developed to enable #malaria #genomic #surveillance in low-resource settings: ow.ly/smYG50QGfKA

The International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN) catalytic grant fund is now open for applications! Grant funding ($50K to $250K for 1 year) is available for IPSN members from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). who.int/news-room/arti…

Wonderful to see this work published. Congrats to all including Jason A. Hendry, mariateresa and Mulenga Mwenda. The dream of routine in-country drug resistance surveillance empowering national bodies to make data-driven decisions is getting closer.
