Pathogen Genomics Training

Pathogen genomics is crucial for understanding and combating infectious diseases. It involves studying the genetic material of pathogens (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites) to gain insights into their structure, behavior, evolution, and how they interact with their hosts.

Hands-on sessions will familiarize students with the details and use of common tools and resources in pathogen genomics. The objective is to enhance the researchers’ capacity to conduct world class scientific research and boost their institution’s profile as a leading diagnostic and scientific center.



At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Pathogen Genomics Training
  • Track Disease Outbreaks: sequence the genomes of pathogens and track the source and spread of infectious diseases in real time in order to.
  • Identify Virulence Factors: identify the specific genes that make a pathogen more virulent (harmful), allowing for the development of targeted therapies and vaccines.
  • Survey Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): identify genetic markers associated with antimicrobial resistance.
  • Improve Diagnostics: develop more accurate and faster diagnostic tests, which is crucial for timely and effective treatment.
  • Identify Potential Vaccine Targets: Understanding the genetics of pathogens enables the identification of potential vaccine targets.
  • Understand the Evolution and Adaptation of Pathogens: track mutations and understand how pathogens adapt to new environments.
  • Gain Ecological and Evolutionary Insights: appreciate the evolution of pathogens and their ecological relationships with humans, animals, and the environment.
Using the most powerful software, you will gain the latest skills in pathogen genomics analysis.
