@EngEnviron
Team led by Prof. Zhang Tong researching on ARG, Wastewater-Based Epidemiology, Wastewater Treatment, Environmental Microbial Ecology and more.


#HKU Department of Civil Engineering Professor Zhang Tong is the recipient of the recent HKU Innovator Award, for his sewage surveillance system that has been widely successful in helping Hong Kong combat #COVID19 since 2020. Thank you and congratulations!




After a 10-month journey, the work is finally published👏. Read more about the practical effectiveness of sewage surveillance in HK: Use of Sewage Surveillance for COVID-19: A Large-Scale Evidence-Based Program in Hong Kong |ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/full/10.12…



Delighted to present to you our proud work @EngEnviron! A step forward for rapid absolute quantification in the environmental microbiome field using metagenomic @nanopore sequencing with the addition of an internal standard! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper from @zhangt1968 lab looks at the immense viral diversity in wastewater treatment plants & demonstrates the power of #ProxiMeta Hi-C to identify #phage & affiliate them with their hosts in complex communities, outperforming CRISPR-based methods hubs.la/H0XtLDw0



Our paper "An omics-based framework to assess the health risk of antimicrobial resistance genes" published @NatureComms. A great team work of @EngEnviron, @AnniZhangMIT, @mgroussi, @mathildpoyet, @ejalm, @leeliguan, @yinxiaole, @BillHanage, @Shijie_Zhao, @MarkvLoosdrecht, etc.
