COG-UK has provided important scientific insights into the spread and evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and this funding will greatly increase genome sequencing capacity. I am very proud to be part of the COG-UK team. cogconsortium.uk/news_item/12-2…

Thrilled to be Director of Operations for COG-UK and working towards equity of sequencing and good coverage across the UK.

Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health threat and so I am very excited to hear that there will be a new research centre for antimicrobial resistance University of Oxford

COG-UK is 10 months old this January. In our latest blog, Professor Sharon Peacock reflects on 10 key achievements of the consortium — one for each month of our existence. A huge thank you to Alex Cagan for providing the amazing illustrations 👏👏 bit.ly/397kIZC

Has your career, life and perceptions of what you enjoy changed since the COVID-19 pandemic began? My blog captures how I reinvented my career during the COVID-19 pandemic. I would be interested in hearing your story professorsharonpeacock.co.uk/reinventing-my… COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium #STEM #leadership

The United Kingdom has been a guiding light for the pandemic: 1. COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium sequenced >206,000 #SARSCoV2 genomes, ~50% of all 2. The large #RECOVERY trials provided pivotal data for dexamethasone, HCQ, convalescent plasma, more 3. ICNARC is an exemplary national dashboard

What can wastewater tell us about #COVID19? In our latest blog we explore the use of wastewater to study #SARSCoV2 transmission and what it can teach us about the ongoing pandemic. 😷 bit.ly/3pgkvJh
