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 👇

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 ;)

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. 👐🧬🌎

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 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! 🦘🦘🦘 – at Melbourne, Victoria
Open source tools are crucial for biomedical research. We're collaborating with @KavliFoundation + @Wellcometrust to support developers & maintainers of critical #OpenSource projects, promoting innovation & community engagement in the field. More ▶️ czi.co/3zjN56l

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

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 @AusPathoGen
@WHO just releases the 2024 Bacterial Priority Pathogens List of public health importance to guide R&D, and investments in #AMR prevention and control in measures to address emerging public health threats. Full report: who.int/publications/i/item/…
