Interested in using Oxford Nanopore to sequence #tuberculosis using whole genome sequencing? Listen to our postdoc Linzy Elton, PhD explaining each stage of the pipeline 👇

Here's a short video highlighting one of the projects we've worked on that was recently highlighted at the United Nations General Assembly!

The #CCMBucketHat travelled all the way to Lambaréné in Gabon in September when Leticia Muraro Wildner and Linzy Elton, PhD visited Centre de Recherches Médicales de Lambaréné to do a site visit for TB clinical trials!



The #CCMBucketHat made it to Blantyre in #Malawi last week to help out with clinical trials site assessments at Kamuzu University of Health Sciences!


It's official! The #CCMBucketHat has now made it to every inhabited continent when postoc Linzy Elton, PhD took it with her to visit Sydney in #Australia (via #Singapore and #Bangkok)! Does anyone have any research going on in #Antarctica? 🤔





The #CCMBucketHat made it to Kingston, Jamaica last week on a trip to run a sequencing workshop at the University of the West Indies. Phylogenetic trees were built and carbapenem resistance genes were found! Here it is at the Bob Marley museum with postdoc Linzy Elton, PhD


(1/2) Are you interested in Oxford Nanopore sequencing? Want to sequence amplicons or do #metagenomics? @linzyElton at our partner site Centre for Clinical Microbiology UCL UCL has published a YouTube tutorial video for the Rapid PCR Barcoding kit to help you get started: youtu.be/zknahvQUH58?si…

We're part of many #tuberculosis #ClinicalTrial studies, and site coordinator Linzy Elton, PhD has made a series of videos to try and dispel the myths about clinical trials! First up, a look at OptiRimox; why (and how) it's run, and why trials are so important!

Next up in our series of videos on #clinicaltrials, Linzy Elton, PhD explains what a day in the life of our laboratory scientists looks like! We work with sites all over the world and each trial is different, but with many hundreds of #tuberculosis patients enrolled, it's always busy!


In our final video on #clinicaltrials, Linzy Elton, PhD explains what a site coordinator does when they visit each of the labs! Coordinators work closely with the lab teams to help make sure that all work is being done according to the trial guidelines, making the data robust.

In a collaboration between @HerpeZ, Centre for Clinical Microbiology UCL and Barts Health, researcher Rosalind Rosalind Tucker PhD has spent 3 weeks in Zambia helping to develop Oxford Nanopore #metagnomics for non-malarial febrile illness diagnosis from blood samples!

Some of the CCM clinical trials team joined the PanACEA annual meeting in Cape Town, South Africa 3-5 June. A celebration of all the work achieved, and a look forward to all of the things we can work towards with PanACEA3! Leticia Muraro Wildner Dr Arundhati Maitra Linzy Elton, PhD


The team at Zymo Research have written a blog about the use of environmental #metagenomics in two of our recent papers, highlighting its use for #AMR #surveillance across #OneHealth settings bioscience.co.uk/blog/environme…
