The MMB DTP is a doctoral training programme funded by UKRI-MRC for research students in microbiology with an emphasis on microbial bioinformatics at UEA
Excited to be part of the @MMBDTP bioinformatics training this year for the new cohort! Fantastic to hear from @rodwell_ella about her career so far and her genomics work at UKHSA on day 1 🧬
It's that time of year! Meeting the latest cohort of @MMBDTP students & teaching them #comparativegenomics
Day 1: mapping & #variant calling. @gemma_langridge taught us valuable lessons (sanity checking your data) & @rodwell_ella showed the large scale genomics performed @UKHSA

Great to see our Gemma, Alice & Emma delivering this #MinION#nanopore training course in Nepal. We hear their hosts are looking after them & treating them to wonderful food
Don't they look like a great team in their matching @JIDCuk tops, the charity that has funded this course
Its been an intense 1st day however our students ar enthusiastic to learn all that @nanopore#sequencing can add to their science
I can't thank @gemma_langridge & @NisbetAlice enough for their support in running this & expanding it. Its wonderful to be on this journey with them
