After a break from Twitter I’m back! Fortunate to be able to attend #GCAM2023. Already heard great scientific discussions during the poster session and now we have the official start of the meeting! Expect some updates over the next 3 days!

This World Mental Health Day @Wellcometrust, we want to celebrate and show what can be achieved by investing in mental health science. wellcome.org/what-we-do/men… 👇Take a look below for a few examples we’re excited about that could transform the lives of those with psychosis (1/5)

Start of the Pathogen Genomics track at #GCAM2023. All about how modelling can inform how we sample when applying pathogen genomic sequencing as a tool in surveillance.

Good to highlight the importance of engaging your stakeholders when designing and implementing research. Wellcome is building our engagement approach which can be found here wellcome.org/grant-funding/… Sarah Golding

Nick Thomson from Wellcome Sanger Institute discussing the role of genomics for cholera control.

Great presentation from the Public Institute of Malawi, Miriam Nyenje, on the first locally driven whole genome sequencing on cholera, working closely with Africa CDC.

Helpful presentation from Josefina Campos from the ⁦World Health Organization (WHO)⁩ Hub in Berlin discussing how to communicate about pathogen genomic sequencing for public health.

Final part of the session - fab panel of experienced researchers and public health actors discussing what is driving the increased frequency of cholera outbreaks and what are the key use cases for cholera genomic sequencing.

Now the final session on waste water environmental surveillance, discussing the use cases and it’s application to support public health and epidemic preparedness.

I am honoured and very excited about being selected as CEO of Wellcome. I feel privileged to be able to work with Wellcome colleagues to bring discovery science and challenge driven science to society to build a healthier future wellcome.org/news/wellcome-…
