Applied Bioinformatics and Public Health Microbiology

Conference - Cambridge, United Kingdom

The aim of this conference is to provide a multidisciplinary forum showcasing recent advances in sequencing and bioinformatics relevant to microbiology and virology, illustrating how these advances are being translated to meet the needs of public health. The sessions will therefore include presentations of research describing the use of ‘second’- and ‘third’-generation sequencing technologies to understand microbial diversity and evolution, pathogenesis, virulence and host-pathogen interactions. The presenters will also discuss the latest practical applications of next gen sequencing and other genomic approaches to elucidate the spread of infection.

The conference attracts international participants working in a range of settings including research institutes, diagnostic and reference microbiology laboratories, bioinformatics departments, and surveillance centres. This year we hope to have a strong representation of clinical microbiologists to ensure appropriate migration of these technologies to frontline diagnostic and surveillance applications.
