RT @DrSimonHarris End of the second day of the @AfricaPGI genomics supply chain workshop in Dakar. Lots of excellent discussion and a clear focus on solutions, not problems! https://t.co/KRsp5ZGqdR
RT @DrSimonHarris Excited to see this roadmap as @AfricaPGI continues to expand its pathogen genomics use cases https://t.co/aoosX8NUDQ
RT @EsteeTorok Looking forward to the @AfricaPGI Pathogen Genomics Supply chain workshop .. focussing on finding solutions rather discussing the challenges! @sofoniaskt @DrSimonHarris https://t.co/n9bIJKlVfU
RT @djimdeab Productive meeting of the malaria genomics for public health focus group with @AfricaPGI. Made great progress on roadmap for Africa-wide implementation of genomics for malaria elimination @PDNA11 @DrSimonHarris @gatesfoundation @malariagenomics https://t.co/DH3Yuxu5hl
@AfricaPGI @MpangaKasons @joe_wangendo @ZMPublicHealth @AfricaCDC @ASLM_News Proud to be part of building capacity at ZNPHI
RT @MpangaKasons New addition to our Genomic Sequencing Unit @ZMPublicHealth. Thanks to @AfricaCDC, @AfricaPGI and @ASLM_News for your continued support. #HamiltonNGSmicrolabstar. https://t.co/ErLBBt7QKC
RT @TheBloodLink #NairobiCFRM2023. Mr. Joseph Wangendo, founding director @TheBloodLink making the opening remarks https://t.co/Tk3BHiCJ7D
RT @MOH_Kenya PS @DrJ_Mburu hosted @AfricaCDC Pathogen Initiative @AfricaPGI Rep. @Joe_Wangendo. The two explored strategies for strengthening pathogen genomic surveillance in Kenya through multi-pathogen genomic surveillance system to keep up with the emerging global disease patterns. https://t.co/4avjSWG2q1
RT @laktarr001 Thank you #Davos you’ve been kind to me. #WEF2023 has been productive for @AfricaCDC. We shall be back to remind you that the #NewPublicHealthOrder is Africa’s present and future.

RT @djimdeab Our @PDNA11 GEDIP GridIon has just been installed in our new PDNA lab. Getting ready for pathogens genomics to inform infectious disease management, “putting the fire off where it starts » to prevent next pandemics. Thanks @AfricaPGI @gatesfoundation @DrSimonHarris @EsteeTorok https://t.co/dYpd34JUiK
@AfricaPGI Completion Ceremony of Phase 1 @AfricaCDC Headquarters https://t.co/fk3QtRqZWr
RT @BeverlyEgyir It was such a pleasure interacting in person with Prof. @Iruka_Okeke (and others) at the Africa PGI: AMR Genomic Surveillance focus group (FG) meeting in Addis. Prof. Okeke leads the FG; she is an inspiration to me and many scientists in Africa and beyond. @AfricaCDC @AfricaPGI https://t.co/Ykm4YO5ckS
RT @vinodscaria Omicron sublineages dominate the current wave in China 🇻🇳 as per the new updates on @GISAID
BF.7 in Beijing, BA.2.5 in multiple cities and previously known omicron sublineages in Shanghai.
So it is not a founder event, afterall. Omicrons are here to rule. https://t.co/zjPYotwoca
RT @vinodscaria Also covered in @ttindia today by @ScienceTales
https://t.co/R329CP074K
RT @vinodscaria An interesting abstract in the recent @GeneticsSociety meeting caught attention, primarily since
🔘was on the #Indian population
🔘there were no Indian organisation / investigators
🔘as published by a pharma company and a another which had(!) operations in India.
The abstract 👇 https://t.co/qDIQw08FmS
RT @joe_wangendo Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) Headquarters almost complete. Addis Ababa. Ethiopia https://t.co/yoOYE4ne1J
RT @AfricaPHF @AfricaPHF and @AfricaCDC have today concluded a 2-day regional Biosafety and Biosecurity Technical Working Group for North Africa in Tunis, Tunisia. This will lead to the implementation of biosafety and biosecurity in regional and national level. https://t.co/1bBmZdq3yN
RT @VanessaMoeder The capacity built to manage Covid can now be readily leveraged to respond to other threats, such as Ebola virus. Genomic epidemiology can help trace outbreak sources and transmission patterns, adding a critical element of the response. So glad Uganda is ready! #ngs @AfricaPGI https://t.co/HuQGJQb1qy
RT @GeraldGmboowa Today teams from @AfricaPGI & Pathogen Genomics Lab-INRB,DRC @labgenpath have started a 5-day capacity building training to sequence all Ebola virus samples from the ongoing EVD outbreak at the Uganda National Health Laboratory & Diagnostics Services (NHLDS/CPHL/UNHLS)@cphluganda https://t.co/7Xxw428Ehe
RT @sofoniaskt The vision and targets are very clear - as outlined by Dr Ahmed @laktarr001 at the #AfricaPGISymposium22. We continue to build @AfricaPGI capacity & partnerships to translate this vision into reality @gatesfoundation @illumina @CDC_AMD @nanopore @RockefellerFdn @MastercardFdn https://t.co/FIb3dQ4v8p
RT @laktarr001 @AfricaCDC has done excellent work increasing the continent’s laboratory capacity for pathogen genomics & commit to reach all 55 @_AfricanUnion Member States. We are safeguarding Africa’s health, one sample at a time.
