Our work with Prof. Zahra Hasan's group Aga Khan University reveals how #Omicron variants spread across #Pakistan, with Sindh as the epicenter. Phylogenetic analysis shows the diversity and relatedness of SARS-CoV-2 strains in different regions. #COVID19 bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11β¦


π₯° Our tiny patients have big hearts and give us hope. What a spectacular way to celebrate Aga Khan University Paediatrics π€©π₯³ππ

With the man who's changing the world, one initiative at a time. Thank you, Mr. Bill Gates. It was a privilege to meet you ahead of the #Goalkeepers2030 Gates Foundation Bill Gates! ππ


A picture can say a 1000 words. Congrats M Imran Nisar for representing #Pakistan at The Asia Pathogen Genomics Initiative. The APGI aims to accelerate genomic sequencing for public health surveillance across south and southeast Asia. NIH Pakistan Aga Khan University Duke-NUS Medical School


Our SARS-CoV-2 environmental surveillance study is now published in The Lancet Regional Health-Southeast Asia! Read how our brilliant lab, bioinformatics and stats teams correlated SARS-COV-2 RNA conc. with reported cases in the 'sewershed': authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S27β¦ M Imran Nisar

BREAKING: Aga Khan University just sequenced the newest Sars-CoV-2 variant: JN1 in its fancy lab with a $500,000 gene sequencer machine. Has implications for the elderly. #Covid Thanks to Wara Irfan for reporting dawn.com/news/1804962/aβ¦

Our metagenomics team just sequenced the newest #SARSCoV2 variant: JN1. Dawn.com's Wara Irfan just reported it after talking to M Imran Nisar . Here Samiah Kanwar looks at the Pakistan specific SARS-CoV-2 phylogenetic tree and Furqan Kabir stands next to Illumina that spat
