We’re excited to have our paper out in @LancetMicrobe today, outlining we implemented the use of pathogen genomics nationally and sharing this translational research with the rest of the world🧬🦠auspathogen.org.au/blog/harn… @BenjaminHowden @torstenseemann @AmyVJennison @UniMelbMDHS

Did you know that thousands of sequences from across Australia have been contributed to the @AusPathoGen Program across several priority pathogens?🦠🧬You can see our monthly tracking numbers on the website and read more about the individual pathogens too👉auspathogen.org.au/

An interesting application of pathogen genomics looking at fungal pathogens in pine trees🧬🌲 Did you know @AusPathoGen is researching a fungal pathogen ourselves, Candida auris? You can read about the project on our website 🔗auspathogen.org.au/studies/c…

Check out how our lab is integrating genetics with disease dynamics to research a fungal pathogen! Featuring @gabriel_aasilva , @damsel_temi , and @JannaWilloughby !🧬 🍿: youtube.com/watch?v=u8VyBpS0…

Had the pleasure of presenting shigella genomics 🧬 work last week @AusPathoGen - 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_
