Honoured to be named a @CIHR_IRSC Canada Research Chair in Pathogen Genomics and Bioinformatics. Big thank you to @SchulichMedDent @westernuMNI and colleagues for your support. #CRC #Genomics #Bioinformatics

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.

#SchulichMedDent researchers secure over $7M in CIHR funding. This boost supports research to combat antibiotic resistance and develop a promising new surgical technique to improve organ donation recovery, among other projects. Learn more: https://t.co/ZT20gflFr3 @cihr_irsc

📢🎉Excited to share our team received a 𝟱-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗜𝗛𝗥 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 which will allow us to gain much needed insight into MRSA in the community. Grateful to the reviewers for their support. @CIHR_IRSC @westernuMNI

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!!!

Ready for CSM! And of course nobody sits up front...🤓

Two more nights til start of @CSM_SCM2024 #CSM2024 @CSM_SCM. We now have 568 registered. Online registration link is closed, but don’t be disappointed - you can still register on site in North Campus Building @WesternU. Book your seat now! Please repost!

Congrats!!! 👏

Huge congrats to Jishnu on his MSc graduation 🎓🎉 He has a bright future ahead!!! @westernuMNI #proudsupervisor

Congrats to all on this excellent achievement!!!! Well done @idowuolawoye #proudsupervisor

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: https://t.co/gOpsyK1kBL hot off the presses!

Very cool work!👇

First paper from my student Daria Frolova's PhD now on biorxiv: https://t.co/Ex2tbOujgG 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? 1/n

OMG this week in microbiology (TWIM) podcast 303 ( https://t.co/lxEKxRpcSt) 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: https://t.co/EEpafWmIpA ).

🎉 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
