Tracing transmission and evolution of multidrug resistant pathogens. Use genomics for precision treatment.
Great start in our PANGenS week in Windhoek. Pushing genomic surveillance in Africa
📌Day 2: The morning session began with an introduction to bacterial typing. This was followed by a hands-on tutorial for Mtb reference mapping pipeline and cgMLST allele calling using SeqSphere led by Dr ir. Margo Diricks.👩🔬👩💻👨🔬
Don´t miss this @IMI_ERA4TB sponsored workshop! @UnionConference is the world largest on lung health We will show you how ERA4TB is tackling the complexities of developing novel regimens for tuberculosis treatment in a more efficient manner @ARAID_ES @UccUnizar @unizar

📌Today starts the 2nd In-person @EDCTP3 -funded PANGenS meeting to discuss the project in detail. 📌This will provide an excellent opportunity to share insights, refine strategies, and ensure alignment with project goals ensuring more significant progress moving forward.
Fantastic start of our second PANGenS consortium meeting. Pushing for pathogen genomics in Africa. @FZBorstel @trans_evo @medinflame
📌Keynote deliveries were made by Principal co-investigators @DorothyYeboahM1 and @stefan_niemann As well as from the WHO representative of Namibia, representative from the ministry of health and social services and the representative from the vice chancellor’s office @unam_na

Fantastic training at UNAM in Windhoek. Thanks to the trainers and participants @FZBorstel @trans_evo
📌Excited to share excerpts from Day 1 of the 16S metagenomics training at the University of Namibia! Participants delved into the latest techniques for analyzing microbial communities. Great discussions and networking opportunities made day 1 a success! Can’t wait for day 2🎊

Nice and productive visit of colleagues from CERMEL (Gabon) in Borstel for training in tNGS and WGS of M. tuberculosis strains and discussion of TB sampling progress within the PANGenS project. @PANGenS2023 @FZBorstel @CERMEL_Gabon
Day 3/5: 📌Excerpts from the last lecture about@mrcunitgambia #biobank facility, daily operation of the bank and sample collection and processing lectures by Mathurin Diatta (Biobank manager),Demba Sanneh(Biobank supervisor) and Sheikh Jaru (of Laboratory management department).
📌Session 2 was led by Prof. Anita Ghansah (senior research fellow @NMIMR_UG )on the Governance of biobanks. She delivered on operational structures, key components, legal frameworks,governance models of biobank governance and QMS and the issues of ethics, rights and privacy.
Fantastic meeting of the SubSaharan SeqNet Consortium. Thanks for the fanstic collaborations and the push to transform TB diagnostics and surveillance by sequencing technologies
📌Final session was on the Fundamentals of Health Research Data Security and Data Sharing “The security of health data is fundamental in health research”- Badou Gaye @mrcunitgambia Ensuring integrity in research, its practices and the protection of the privacy of participants.
Demba Sanneh Biobank supervisor @mrcunitgambia led the 3rd session on “Quality- Policies and SOPs”. Lecturing on development of effective Biobanking SOPs, key elements of SOPs, ensuring SOP compliance and Biobank policy-sample use,storage and retention and compliant disposal.📝
