It’s my great pleasure to present the Global Pneumoocccal Sequencing project at #LISSSD25 I feel humbled to learn more about Group A and Group B streptococci and other species, and meet great minds to discuss science. #GPS_project

Dr Dorota Jamrozy presents a well-powered GWAS to identify genetic features associated with invasive #GBS disease as compared with carriage at #LISSSD25 Thanks to the >20,000 GBS genomes in the #JUNO_project @sangerinstitute
Over half a million of pneumococcal disease in children reported in China annually Our paper showed 1) 94% serotypes covered by PCV13 2) 99.8% isolates resistant to ≥1 antibiotics Routine PCV use in children will ↘️ pneumococcal disease and AMR microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…
Good morning Brisbane! What a nice view to prepare my very first talk at #LISSSD25 ! Looking forward to meeting people at the conference. #GPS_project #pneumococci #Genomics

☑️ Attended my first Europneumo. ☑️ Presented a poster at a conference for the first time. ☑️ Had a great time 😁 Loved being able to share what I've been working on over the past 6 months about the global patterns of serotype 4.
In #Europneumo2025, the GPS core team presents 1) Database of 26k pneumococcal genomes @HarryHung 2) Global population structure of serotype 12F Alannah King 3) SeroBA - WGS-based tool to detect 102 known serotypes Oliver Lorenz And enjoy meeting our collaborators!
Zoom/Team meetings a new normal after pandemic. Really proud of myself to compete 11 meetings in a day! New record!

Ever wondered what a snapshot of single cell/spatial dataset can reveal? scCellFie - a scalable tool that goes beyond gene expression, making metabolic analysis possible 3-2-1 Say GENES🤳 BioRxiv doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… TRY NOW sccellfie.readthedocs.io #DataScience #Bioinformatics
I’m happy to share that our scCellFie manuscript is finally on bioRxiv — a project that was an amazing opportunity to return to my roots in metabolism! We infer metabolic activity from single-cell & spatial transcriptomics 🧬 Read the pre-print here👇 📄 doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…
The SeroBA(v2.0) is now available in the GPS pipeline github.com/GlobalPneumoSe… #GPS_project #pneumococci #serotype #bioinformatics
Do you need a #bioinformatic tool to detect almost all serotypes in #penumococci ? The new SeroBA v2.0 can detect 102 of 107 pneumococcal serotypes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’ve spent decades working to protect children from pneumonia. This #WorldImmunizationWeek, I’m reminded of the power of vaccines to save lives. It’s #HumanlyPossible to work towards a healthier future, together. who.int/news/item/24-0…

🚀 Our perspective is out in @Nature! We present a roadmap for Multimodal Foundation Models (MFMs) — large AI models pretrained across multi-omics and multi-timepoint data — to serve as the computational backbone for building virtual cells. Read the full paper in Nature:…
It was a pleasure to write about exciting advances in strain-level metagenomics alongside our brilliant students, Bonface Gichuki and Andrew Van Camp. We believe this represents a critical step toward enabling precision microbiome therapeutics.
