Excited to announce that I'll be joining @UtrechtUni as an Asst Prof in Food Safety in October. Lots of one health genomics aiming to improve our understanding of zoonotic transmission in the pipeline :)
Nice to see this out! In our latest piece in Trends in Microbiology, we highlight the urgent need to bridge geographical gaps in arbovirus surveillance and preparedness. @Norina281 @Mónica Cunha, luiz alcantara, José Lourenço! More here: DOI: 10.1016/j.tim.2025.03.010
Reminder to join the latest @WHO IPSN EPI-WIN webinar on current and future perspectives of genomic surveillance of mpox - today @ 13:00 CET

Last week we had an action packed agenda visiting our @WHO IPSN Catalytic Grant Salmonella/Shigella #WGS #AMR project partners at MRI, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 A full week of training, site visits and impactful policy meetings. Thanking Dr Sujatha and MRI for the amazing hospitality🧬👩🏻🔬
