Delighted to be part of the Royal Society @RSTMH showcase panel sharing our perspectives from the @GHRUamr building sustainable genomics capabilities for routine AMR surveillance in Africa, Asia and Latin America. @TheCGPS
Incredibly proud to announce our preprint detailing an iterative approach to assembling #WGS based #surveillance infrastructure in microbiology laboratories.

Excited to see the output of my first @illumina#miseq run, after initial training by @cake_ray & colleagues @TheCGPS@ACSCevents in #2018 amidst countless procurement and set-up delays. Took ~3 yrs to achieve this key deliverable of our @NIHR finded @GHRUamr grant. @iruka_okeke
The recording from our December Good Financial Grant Practice (GFGP) question ‘deep-dive’ webinar, involving the first three GFGP certified organisations in the world, is now available for you to enjoy here: vimeo.com/511107134@GHRUamr@NIHRglobal#gfgp
A study of more than 23,000 samples carried out by teams across the UK shows LamPORE is highly accurate for the detection of #SARSCoV2, in both symptomatic and asymptomatic population settings, read more: bit.ly/3hd6nx9@adbeggs
We are thrilled to have been involved in the development of new @who report on whole genome sequencing for surveillance of antimicrobial resistance who.int/publications/i/item/…
Curious about the innovative inflatable #labs? Here comes the reveal of what's inside these labs. They are equipped with MGI's automated sample preparation system and can process up to 10,000 samples per day, one of the keys to an effective testing solution for #COVID19.
GS: LamPORE is the first assay we have developed that is intended for diagnostic use. @danturnez talked yesterday about the science, here is the vision. With scalability and a rapid workflow comes the ability to provide rapid testing in any setting you can think of #nanoporeconf
Fantastic extension from @theosanderson that increases operational efficiency on @opentrons when accurately rearraying samples from tubes to HTP plate formats.
Something I've been working on in recent days. Tube Checkout: a 3D-printed addition to an @opentrons robot, that simplifies early stages of testing protocols. github.com/theosanderson/tub… [1/n]
Through ongoing viral lineage mapping in space and time, @CovidGenomicsUK, of which @TheCGPS is a vital cog, reports an influx and circulation of ~40 different #SARSCoV2 strains in the UK since March; several international ones have since gone extinct.
Compelling thought piece on the value of contact tracing combined with real-time NGS surveillance to tackle future waves of pandemics. #ngs#genomics#publichealth#surveillance How to Snuff Out the Next Pandemic - Scientific American Blog Network blogs.scientificamerican.com…
