AgileBio sponsors the Applied Bioinformatics and Public Health Microbiology conference

Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, UK

May 6-8, 2015

This meeting provides a multidisciplinary forum to showcase how advances in microbial and viral genomics, bioinformatics and sequencing technology are being translated to meet the needs of public health.

The programme will focus on the use of ‘second’- and ‘third’-generation sequencing technologies to understand microbial diversity and evolution, pathogenesis, virulence and host-pathogen interactions, within the context of public health microbiology. We will review the current experience of implementing sequence technology in routine frontline diagnostics and surveillance. Included in the programme will be ‘live’ interactive bioinformatics sessions, the opportunity for academic bioinformaticians working in this area to showcase the tools they have developed and foster technical bioinformatics discussions.
