Proud and thankful for positive reception we've had on our approach to embedding pathogen genomics research at the public health interface
@auspathogen
National collaboration has been critical for generating evidence for use and impact of genomics-informed public health in Aus.

Well deserved grant 🎉for one of the best bioinformatics scientists in clinical/public health micro 🤩 We will all be waiting in anticipation for what you build next!!!
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! 🦘🦘🦘

Seq data of varying quality can be used for different public health applications (analysis, training, more). @pha4ge standardized QC tags help users share, triage, and identify a wider array of data in public repos. For more info, see: shorturl.at/1yaCw hot off the presses!

First paper from my student Daria Frolova's PhD now on biorxiv:
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
The key question: plasmids change structurally ~as fast as they mutate, so how can we decide whether 2 plasmids are "the same plasmid" for epi purposes?

OMG this week in microbiology (TWIM) podcast 303 (microbe.tv/twim/) talks about our CRyPTIC project to sequence ~12,000 M. tuberculosis isolates from 23 countries and obtain quantitative resistance phenotypes for 13 drugs. (Paper here: journals.plos.org/plosbiolog… ).
🎉 Celebrating Success! 🏆Delighted to share that Postdoctoral Associate Dr. Idowu Olawoye has been honored with a @CIHR_IRSC REDI Early Career Transition Award! Congratulations, @idowuolawoye - your success is well-deserved! 👏🎉#DiversityMatters #ResearchExcellence #ProudMentor
