Our work with Prof. Zahra Hasan's group Aga Khan University reveals how #Omicron variants spread across #Pakistan, with Sindh as the epicenter. Phylogenetic analysis shows the diversity and relatedness of SARS-CoV-2 strains in different regions. #COVID19 bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Had an amazing and fun time exploring and gaining more indepth understanding of metagenomics and its endless possibilities from the amazing mentors and teachers. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity. #thrivingtogether at pediatrics research week!!

🥰 Our tiny patients have big hearts and give us hope. What a spectacular way to celebrate Aga Khan University Paediatrics 🤩🥳💖💗

With the man who's changing the world, one initiative at a time. Thank you, Mr. Bill Gates. It was a privilege to meet you ahead of the #Goalkeepers2030 Gates Foundation Bill Gates! 🌍🙌

A picture can say a 1000 words. Congrats M Imran Nisar for representing #Pakistan at The Asia Pathogen Genomics Initiative. The APGI aims to accelerate genomic sequencing for public health surveillance across south and southeast Asia. NIH Pakistan Aga Khan University Duke-NUS Medical School

Our SARS-CoV-2 environmental surveillance study is now published in The Lancet Regional Health-Southeast Asia! Read how our brilliant lab, bioinformatics and stats teams correlated SARS-COV-2 RNA conc. with reported cases in the 'sewershed': authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S27… M Imran Nisar

New study from #Pakistan #Wastewater sampling effectively predicts an outbreak of #COVID19 in areas with low active case surveillance or poor access to care, even without a well-mapped sewage system Read more 👉 bit.ly/46Mht58
