  • 2017 Manilla

    International Workshop in Epidemiology in Infectious Diseases

    To take full advantage of new ‘omic technologies requires the ability to analyse large amounts of data using methods from bioinformatics, population genetics and statistics – the focus of this Workshop. Specifically, the Workshop offers hands-on experience of processing sequencing data to construct genomes, identifying genomic variants and applying downstream methods, such as phylogenetics. Further, the course covers transcriptomic and proteomic analysis in human and pathogen settings. High profile examples, including malaria, TB and MRSA, will be used to illustrate the concepts, and there is a strong emphasis on how to implement the methods in practice, with the majority of sessions computer-based.

  • 2018 Kuala Lumpur

    International Workshop in Epidemiology in Infectious Diseases

    This five-day Workshop will be held in October, aimed at early career researchers from the UK and Malaysia. This Workshop will bring together global experts on the study of genomic epidemiology of infectious diseases, particularly those affecting Malaysia. The Workshops aims to promote collaborations that will enhance the use of tools in bioinformatics, population genetics and statistics in infectious disease research. Day one and five of the Workshop, will focus on presentations and discussions relating to the role of genomics in the prevention and control of infectious diseases, with a focus on Malaysia. The other days, which will be held at the Computational Science and Research Centre, will focus on genomic analyses. By the end of the Workshop, participants will be able to: (a) process raw sequence into a set of informative variants, through mapping to a reference genome or using de novo or reference-free assembly approaches, (b) conduct transcriptomic and proteomic analysis, in an integrated systems biology approach, and (c) perform downstream population genetic and association analysis.

  • 2014 London

    Bioinformatics Short course

    In February and March of 2014, the Pathogen Seq Lab hosted an internal bi-weekly workshop titled “Bioinformatics Short Course”. This intensive course was tailored specifically for the lab’s internal staff members, aiming to enhance their skills and knowledge in the field of bioinformatics. The course provided a comprehensive introduction to bioinformatics, highlighting its role and importance in the modern research landscape. It covered various key topics, including sequence analysis, genomics, proteomics, structural bioinformatics, and more.The course’s bi-weekly structure allowed for a focused and in-depth exploration of each topic. Staff members were given hands-on training on data analysis and interpretation, enabling them to apply bioinformatics concepts and tools to their research effectively.

    Infectious Disease ‘omics

    Beginning in 2017 and ongoing, the Pathogen Seq Lab team in London has been providing a pioneering and comprehensive workshop called “Infectious Disease ‘omics”. Held every December, this workshop aims to educate and foster an understanding of the role and potential of ‘omics technologies in the field of infectious diseases. To take full advantage of new ‘omic technologies requires the ability to analyse large amounts of data using methods from bioinformatics, population genetics and statistics – the focus of this course. Specifically, this course offers hands-on experience of processing sequencing data to construct genomes, identifying genomic variants and applying downstream methods, such as phylogenetics. Further, the course covers transcriptomic and proteomic analysis in human and pathogen settings.
