About

The Forum in Microbial Threats will host a public workshop to examine cases where genomics technologies have been applied successfully to disease surveillance and response, highlight key characteristics of these technologies' impact, and identify potential opportunities for broader adoption in public health. High-throughput and increasingly affordable genome sequencing technologies have enabled the use of pathogen genomics and metagenomics as powerful data-driven disease surveillance approaches. These epidemiological tools have been critical in addressing emerging outbreaks and evolving pathogens from foodborne infections to SARS-CoV-2. This workshop will examine opportunities to integrate the use of pathogen genomics tools and techniques more broadly into the public health system to improve the rapidity and effectiveness of surveillance and response to diseases.

NOTE: In-person registration slots are reaching capacity, those planning to attend the workshop in person must register by Tuesday, July 16 and select the "in person" option to be admitted into the building on the day of the workshop.
