“Acoustic epidemiology” will help transform the diagnosis of #Tuberculosis. The open CODA TB @DR_E_A_M Challenge is in its continuous #benchmarking phase, now evaluating models for generalizable performance in TB diagnosis from cough recordings. Learn more sagebionetworks.org/in-the-n…
#TB affected rural communities have distinct social network structures, transmission dynamics and disease elimination perspectives. Work from @CPando4 and colleagues in #BMCPublicHealth.

Work we do on #DigitalCoughMonitoring @CRCHUM, @UdeM & @McGill_TB with partners such as @hyfeapp and @GoogleHealth featured in @TIME magazine. “The ultimate goal is to mine cough data to see if distinct signatures materialize that would distinguish, lung diseases”…including #TB
A must read - Thanks to @stefan_niemann 's team, co-authors and all the @crypticproject collaborators including @pasteurMG for making this possible.
So proud - great collaborative work on urgently needed data on bedaquiline/clofazimine resistance mechanisms published @crypticproject

Our paper comparing @nanopore and @illumina for TB DST and clustering now out in @LancetMicrobe. Highly concordant 5/12 SNP clusters, 100% concordance at resistance SNPs, 4/60000 indel discordances. Thanks to @ZaminIqbal @Leniaina @MBhall88 & team. thelancet.com/journals/lanmi…

New paper led by @mbhall88 and collaborators! Evaluating @nanopore as a replacement/complement for Illumina for TB: drug resistance and clustering. Spoiler: you can get equivalent clustering and identical resistant predictions (with 30x depth). 1/n

Indeed @mbehr_mcgill & @justin_denholm this is a clinical challenge. 🤔 If WHO endorses that 1.7 billion people have LTBI and an expected positive Quantiferon-TB test, is one uveitis out of 4 due to active ocular TB disease?
Adventuring in new territories with our #ArtificialIntelligence and cough project using @hyfeapp at @ClinicaNavarra.
Very nice work from @JuanCGabaldon @JulianeChaccour @MGalvosas et al.
With great support from @SimonGLapierre via @chumontreal

À la recherche d'excellents étudiants intéressés par l'épidémiologie moléculaire et la tuberculose! Belle opportunité de Maitrise en #bioinformatique avec les équipes de @martinalexsmith @ChuSteJustine et mon laboratoire @CRCHUM
Nerd alert! 🦠🤓🧬 @SimonGLapierre and I are seeking a Master's #student for the #bioinformatics program at @UMontreal to work on rapid molecular profiling of #tuberculosis using #nanopore sequencing.

FINALLY BACK! Kicking off the CIHR New Investigator Forum #OurFutureOurIIINIF with this beautiful group of exceptional new health research talent in 🇨🇦 @CIHR_IRSC @CIHR_IG - RT, share and tag to connect!

Estimates suggest around 10 years of progress in reducing the global burden of #TB has been lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Find out how sequencing of the pathogen genome can help improve therapy choice for this terrible disease. #WorldTBDay #EndTB

ALT Different drugs to represent TB treatments, a globe to show global collaborations. In the background is a microscopy image of M. tuberculosis and sequencing information.
Another critical step towards standardization of #TB genotypic drug susceptibility testing. Thanks to
