Applied Bioinformatics & Public Health Microbiology — 20230503 [1]

[]

Date: 2023-05-03

Summary

The 9th Applied Bioinformatics and Public Health Microbiology conference provides a multidisciplinary forum to demonstrate how advances in microbial and viral genomics, bioinformatics, data science, and sequencing technology are being used to meet the needs of public health.

This year’s meeting will focus on how these advances are transforming public health across the globe, including lessons learned from the SARS-Cov2 pandemic. We will include sessions exploring public health genomics, genomic epidemiology, metagenomics for surveillance, and new bioinformatics approaches – focusing on pipelines and data management. A large proportion of the programme will be chosen from submitted abstracts.

We aim to share best practices for implementing genomics technology in routine, frontline diagnostics and surveillance, with a particular focus on the implications of using data-driven genomics approaches in public health. The conference will also provide an opportunity for bioinformaticians working in this area to exhibit the innovative tools that they have developed.

The conference attracts international participants working in bioinformatics or microbiology research or public health, including reference laboratories or hospital settings. This conference will have strong representation from clinical microbiologists and clinical bioinformaticians, to ensure appropriate migration of these technologies to diagnostic and surveillance applications.

This conference will be a hybrid meeting – with onsite or virtual attendance.
