.@vatsalars presenting in her work for genomic surveillance at #IDWeek2024!
That’s a wrap for @LabMigel !
Today at 4:15PM @ #IDWeek2024 come hear @vatsalars talk about genomic surveillance for respiratory viruses! @IDPittStop

I'm excited to share the next interview in my "Meet a genomic epidemiologist" series. The interviewee is @SundermannAJ , and he shares his journey from undergraduate studies through to his current work applying genomic epidemiology for infection prevention and control.

Bravo, @MatthewCulyba (@TheCulybaLab) and @SundermannAJ!
Congratulations to you both for this well-deserved honor. 🩺👨💻
Congratulations to this year's Samuel and Emma Winters Foundation awardees! 🎉
The 2024 awardees include faculty from the Department of Medicine, the Department of Epidemiology, the Department of Neurobiology, and the Department of Periodontics and Preventive Dentistry from @PittHealthSci.
The awards support junior faculty engaged in biomedical research in the Pittsburgh area each year.

A big congrats to the #infectiousdiseases team at #DOMResearchDay2024 🎉
Cheers to Abigail Gerberick for her best poster award and 2nd-year fellow, Mina Said, for his plenary presentation! Shoutout to all the ID division researchers as well for their efforts! #idpittstop

'The Pitch: Patient Safety’s Next Generation' documentary showcases innovative #healthcare #tech, like the EDS-HAT system by @LeeHarrisonID & Artur Dubrawski; premiering at the @CIFF this week. Post-Gazette article linked below. #idpittstop 🎬

🚨NEW pre-print from Waggle et al in @LabMigel
➡️We describe the laboratory, sequencing, and bioinformatics methods for our in-house bacterial WGS surveillance program
💰We calculate (including FTEs) WGS to be ~$91/isolate = feasible & affordable!

New from @TedRader4MD et al
Using mixed methods, @IDPittstop demonstrated utility of a selective reactive whole-genome sequencing approach to determine transmission pathways in outbreaks of COVID-19 across a healthcare system

Today marks two years that @LabMigel has performed real-time, prospective whole genome sequencing surveillance for major HAI bacterial pathogens as part of our EDS-HAT program at @IDPittStop

The world of plasmids really seemed a lot smaller this week, which was an amazing feeling. Very happy to have left with some lifetime friends and colleagues @EMBO – at Trieste, Friuli-Venezia Giulia
.@Raabe_Nathan presenting at #EMBO in Italy on his work researching plasmid transmission!
