Finally out! The evolving SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Africa: Insights from rapidly expanding genomic surveillance - the results of a labour of love and massive ongoing collaboration. >100k genomes generated and analysed in 52 countries. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A large network of African scientists has analyzed the first 100,000 #SARSCoV2 genomic sequences from the continent, characterizing the pandemic’s progression and highlighting the dispersal patterns of Variants of Concern, including Delta and #Omicron: scim.ag/2cw5t

Immensely proud of what we can accomplish as a continent if we work together. Only possible due to work done at ground level by countless folks across Africa. #AfricaCDC #AfricaPGI #genomics

Our team krisp celebrating the pan-African genomics paper in Science! A great coincidences as 3 co-authors from Senegal, Botswana & Kenya were together as they are visiting as fellows in SA! Together, Africa produces great science & capacitates each other! #AfricaGenomics

Kick-off to the first ever NGS-BRICS workshop on viral sequencing and phylogenetics 9AM NEWS GMT! #BRICS #Genomics #Surveillance #COVID19

Dr. Naidoo ready to kick us off for day 2 of the NGS-BRICS workshop. Aspects of Next Generation Sequencing

Dr. James E. San is ready to teach us about viral genome assemblies using Genome Detective. #NGS #BRICS

Dr. Stephanie van Wyk teaching us about the basics of multiple sequence alignments #NGS #BRICS #Genomics

I’ve been mistreated at Frankfurt Airport by immigration personnel who imagine I want to stay back illegally. My attendance of the World Health Summit is now in doubt. I’m happier & safer back home in Africa. They invite you then mistreat you.

Nice hike in the meadow outside Oxford to recharge the batteries after a busy and productive day

Excited that the 27th International Virus Evolution & Molecular Epidemiology (VEME) workshop will be in Africa for the 2nd time! Application open: 4 modules, from basic to advanced bioinformatics analysis & genomics public health to 150 participants - veme.climade.health

Fascinating presentation by Prof. Darren Martin today for the first seminar in our new facility, followed by a light lunch. Darren Martin Hope to see you all for the next one!

Been trying to get answers from VFS Global for 48h now, but emails goes unanswered and phone calls gets dropped. Is there a competent VFS Global employee that actually cares who I can speak to in South Africa (NL)?

So honoured to be part of this amazing network of dedicated and hard working scientists! United World Antiviral Research Network (UWARN) Centre for Epidemic Response & Innovation (CERI) LUIZ ALCANTARA Marta Giovanetti

Was a great two weeks of learning at the Holmes lab and Sydney ID. Excited to bring these methods to Africa and apply them Centre for Epidemic Response & Innovation (CERI)
