Day 2 of the 3rd International Mycobacterium ulcerans Conference (IMUC-III) is in full swing! Exciting advances, inspiring discussions, and new collaborations taking shape. Grateful to gather in Melbourne on Wurundjeri land to advance our understanding of Buruli ulcer. #IMUCIII

This morning we kick off IMUC-III, hosted in Melbourne with @tstinear as Chair! This is the third international M. ulcerans conference, and we are pleased to welcome over 130 researchers from 16 countries to discuss all things Buruli 💡#IMUC-III @TheDohertyInst @UniMelb

A privilege to attend my 3rd @CDGN_Australia Annual F2F Meeting!

Proud to see this paper from the lab out today @Nature showing how rifaximin use is driving dapto-R in VRE. Many years of work, great multi-disciplinary collaborations. Led by @adriannamturner and Glen Carter @TheDohertyInst @UniMelbMDHS @Austin_Health https://t.co/UTfCGiuPqc

Are you interested in metagenomics? The Meta-GP Program are hosting a Symposium on 6 November to update on progress towards implementation of metagenomic next-generation sequencing across several Australia sites. Registration will close 1 November 👇 https://t.co/9LTrSko14m

I am so proud to be sharing that our @AusPathoGen foundational paper describing the steps we took to implement Australia's largest scale #MRFF national translation research program for public health pathogen #genomics is published! 🎉🧬CONGRATS TEAM! 🧬🎉 https://t.co/snkmG76EFH

We’re excited to have our paper out in @LancetMicrobe today, outlining we implemented the use of pathogen genomics nationally and sharing this translational research with the rest of the world🧬🦠 https://t.co/MBOZU9sSqV @BenjaminHowden @torstenseemann @AmyVJennison @UniMelbMDHS

Very excited about this piece of work in @LancetMicrobe co-lead with @Dr_Webb_Medic, on the development of @AusPathoGen, a national pathogen genomics translational research program. Fantastic work team! https://t.co/8bjV4sEpLS

@LancetMicrobe @BenjaminHowden

Out today, the recipe for pathogen genomics implementation in Australia. 📜 1 tbsp of strong existing collaborations, 2 tbsp governance agreements, 1 tbsp computational infrastructure, and 10 tbsp of belief in the cause. See below for instructions! https://t.co/8ayB3atvb9

This week, AusPathoGen brought together representatives from each jurisdictional health department around Australia to present on the program's research outputs, and discuss working together to optimise national genomic surveillance approaches. Thank you to those who joined!

What better way to end a thought-provoking three days at #CDIC2024 than a debate on ‘Decisions during public health emergencies should be evidence based and not influenced by politics’ 💬

CDGN members gathered in Canberra today for the 2023 Annual Meeting, to discuss priorities, advance current activities and identify new opportunities, including in metagenomics, teaching & training, and emerging tech.

Celebrating another year of @AusPathoGen at our Annual Symposium. Always a pleasure hosting our partners and reflecting on the exciting advances made throughout our flagship projects! Thanks to everyone who made the journey 🥳

End of a fun week! What a team, I get to work with the best people @TheDohertyInst

Good morning dream team! Excited for Day✌️ of our symposium week. Today, is our inaugural Centre for Pathogen Genomics symposium " to enhance global health preparedness and response to infectious disease" 🧬 @TheDohertyInst @UniMelbMDHS @LinChantel_ @Angelafdonald @JuddLmj

New Project Officer role to support our international AMR program at the @WHOCC_AMR, supporting @FlemingFund initiatives across five countries! Really exciting public health and project management opportunity:

Looking forward to hearing @lexleong, @KristyHoran14, @learithe, @jseden1, and Dr Stanley Pang speak in today's @CDGN_Australia and @AusPathoGen Bioinformatics Webinar (Session 1/2) 🖥️🧬

Webinar 2 in the Introduction to Pathogen Genomics for Public Health series co-hosted with @AusPathoGen is taking place this month! If you're interested in bioinformatics for public health pathogen genomics, please register to attend using the below link: https://t.co/rRen5vYjys

Last day! Well done team on all the talks covering @AusPathoGen #AMR #PublicHealth surveillance and outbreak investigation 👏 #CDIC2023 @_PHAA_ @Angelafdonald @Dr_Webb_Medic @AnneEWatt @TheDohertyInst @UniMelbMDHS
