At the inaugural World Health Organization (WHO) Alliance for Food Safety meeting🍗🥬🐷Excited to be part of this global group from all sectors working in foodborne disease surveillance to discuss the impact #genomics has on detecting #AMR infections and investigating outbreaks🧬 @WHOCC_AMR Doherty Institute

Release of the 2024 updated WHO priority pathogens - we should be aligning with this here in Australia - RR TB Newley added. The status of AMR in our Australian TB using a national dataset of 8k genomes will come out this year Australian Pathogen Genomics Program

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 PHAA is on Bluesky

We are hosting the 10th World Melioidosis Congress this year in Darwin, Australia - 🗓️ 21-23 OCT 22. We have exciting things planned! Register here and submit your abstracts. #melioidosis #burkholderia Menzies Research wmc2024.org.au

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!)

Our new pre-print is out on the gen-epi of invasive Group A Strep in Victoria #strepA We show not only the impacts of Covid-19 and the expansion of M1UK, but we found we had a previously dominant clone of M1 isolates (M1AUS). Check it out here papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Stoked to present our work at the 31st International Dynamics & Evolution of #HumanViruses meeting in beautiful Squamish, Canada 🍁 🦠

I am excited to win a CZI EOSS grant! This is the first grant I have ever won after 20+ years in science. It feels wonderful to finally be funded for my open-source contributions. With Wytamma we will deliver the next generation of my popular Snippy software! 🦘🦘🦘

One of the reasons I've been quiet on Twitter for a few months is because I've been working on something big - something I'm really happy to share now! Pathoplexus.org A new, open-source database for pathogen sequence sharing. 👐🧬🌎 1/12

I had an opportunity to give a 5mins talk of findings from part of my PhD at Parasite in the Pacific Conference#PiP2024 in Auckland, New Zealand.#Aotearoa A great opportunity to meet amazing scientists in Parasitology and learning about some cool science and arts too.

I'm looking for a postdoc for my lab - Level A or B, full time or part time considered. Working on single cell transcriptomics and spatial data - methods and collaborative analysis. Really excellent compute available ;) tinyurl.com/y3e8dfke

🔬 La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science scientists have discovered a new antibody-like molecule which could be used in therapy to prevent infection from multiple #malaria parasite species. brnw.ch/21wMoK9

Are you interested in metagenomics? The Meta-GP Program are hosting a Symposium on 6 November to update on progress towards implementation of metagenomic next-generation sequencing across several Australia sites. Registration will close 1 November 👇 eventbrite.com.au/e/meta-gp-symp…
