The recent pandemic has highlighted the importance of effective pathogen surveillance. Join us for a webinar that explores recent advancements in pathogen genomics and epidemiology, with a focus on the critical role of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning.

Our experts will discuss research on the genomic diversity of human rhinoviruses, addressing the challenges and strategies for capturing this diversity. Additionally, they will examine how machine learning can accurately trace the geographical origins of gastrointestinal pathogens through large-scale genomic surveillance. Attendees will learn how these advanced technologies deepen our understanding of pathogen evolution and ways to apply them in their own studies.

What you will learn:

  • The challenges and strategies for capturing the genetic diversity of human rhinoviruses through next-generation sequencing
  • How hierarchical machine learning models can accurately trace the geographical origins of gastrointestinal pathogens, with a focus on Salmonella enterica
  • Insights into the evolutionary patterns of RV, including intergenotypic recombination and the implications for immunity
  • Practical applications of genomic epidemiology for rapid outbreak resolution and real-time surveillance for other pathogens and antimicrobial resistance prediction
Who should attend:
  • Genomics researchers
  • Epidemiologists
  • Bioinformaticians
  • Public health scientists
  • Microbiologists
  • Infectious disease researchers
