Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology

🚨 Hantavirus and genomic epidemiology: Has it been smooth sailing? Join a special PHA4GE & IPSN webinar exploring how genomics supported the response to the Hantavirus outbreak. 📅 20 May 2026 🕒 14:00 CEST 📍 Zoom Register: bit.ly/4ulwHKm #PHA4GE #Hantavirus

🚨 In case you missed it… The special PHA4GE x WHO IPSN webinar on Hantavirus and genomic epidemiology is now available on YouTube. Watch the full discussion on outbreak response, surveillance preparedness and genomic epidemiology here: 📹 youtube.com/live/iRTz_Qc-r… #PHA4GE

📢 PHA4GE is conducting a survey on cholera surveillance and genomics to help shape practical public health guidance for Vibrio cholerae genomic analysis. ⏱️ The survey takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. Take the survey: bit.ly/4dA7Lro #PHA4GE #Cholera

🚨 The PHA4GE AI Working Group is conducting a short survey on AI readiness in public health pathogen genomics. Help identify gaps, priorities and support needs across regions. ⏱️ The survey takes about 5 minutes to complete. Survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #PHA4GE #AI

1/ 🚀 Pathoplexus now supports the Andes variant of Hantavirus (ANDV). ANDV is the variant identified in the recent MV Hondius cases, & the Hantavirus variant previously identified as having occasional human-to-human transmission. pathoplexus.org/andv #hantavirus #hondius

Week 2 of our Stakeholder Strategy Meetings comes to a close following four days of collaboration and technical discussions focused on strengthening metadata approaches for meningitis and sepsis. Thank you to everyone who contributed throughout the week. #PHA4GE

A full first day for Week 2, with wide-ranging discussions to refine and align key parts of the metadata standard. Detailed, collaborative work like this helps build clearer, more usable data systems for public health. #PHA4GE

Week 2 of our Stakeholder Strategy Meetings is underway, focusing on meningitis and sepsis metadata. Today’s sessions begin with refining key structures and updates to strengthen clarity, consistency and usability. #PHA4GE

Bringing Week 1 to a close — with a focus on next steps, collaboration and what comes next. 🚀 These discussions help strengthen how data is structured and used in public health. Because stronger data systems don’t just improve understanding — they improve response. #PHA4GE

Week 1 our Stakeholder Strategy Meetings begins today, focused on cholera and malaria metadata priorities. Prof @alangchris welcomed participants, highlighting the value of organised data for public health decision-making. #PHA4GE

At the PHA4GE Conference & IPSN Global Partners Forum 2025, Dr. @JJocampos23 introduced the pathogen genomics strategy roadmap, outlining priorities to strengthen genomic surveillance and public health systems globally. 🎥 youtu.be/I7Mzyf9npJM?si… #PHA4GECon2025 #IPSNGPF2025

What does it take to better understand and respond to TB? Our #WorldTBDay series explores how genomics and bioinformatics support tracking, understanding and responding to TB. 🎥 Watch the full video: youtube.com/shorts/cRlHFTq…

Genomic technologies are transforming how we understand diseases like TB. From detecting drug resistance to tracking transmission, genomics and bioinformatics are strengthening public health surveillance worldwide. Part of our PHA4GE #WorldTBDay series.

As we approach #WorldTBDay, we’re exploring how genomics and bioinformatics support the surveillance and response to diseases like TB. Follow along as we highlight how these tools help strengthen modern public health systems. #PHA4GE #GenomicSurveillance

Dr. @PlacideMbala at the PHA4GE Conference & IPSN Global Partners Forum 2025. He highlights the role of genomic surveillance and research partnerships in responding to infectious disease threats. Full video: shorturl.at/8ZSZx #PHA4GECon2025 #IPSNGPF2025
