The SPHERES consortium will align US #SARSCOV2 sequencing efforts with other national sequencing programs, including COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium and #CanCOGen, and with international public health genomics and bioinformatics standards organizations, such as @PHA4GE.


Interested in the uses of real time rapid sequencing of #SARSCoV2? Check out our first paper on investigating healthcare-associated #COVID19 infections! @CamPathology ARTIC Network COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium @PHE_uk

We're excited to share that we have 20 graduates from the class of 2020 who are heading off to medical school. Congratulations to these outstanding cadets! U.S. Military Academy at West Point West Point Parent


Cambridge COVID-19 Genomics Lab over 2000 SARS-CoV-2 genomes sequenced .. and many thousands more submitted to Wellcome Sanger Institute .. well done team! 🦠🧬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Luke Meredith Myra Hosmillo Grant Hall Dr Charlotte Houldcroft Will Hamilton Ian Goodfellow Cambridge University Cambridge University Hospitals NHS @PHE_uk COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium


Excellent team work by the Cambridge COVID-19 Genomics Lab team Ian Goodfellow Luke Meredith Will Hamilton Dr Charlotte Houldcroft Myra Hosmillo Grant Hall Fahad Khokhar @AmotherT Cambridge University Hospitals NHS @PHE_uk COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium

#BehindTheLabCoat Our work is fundamentally intertwined with the concept of translational research and such we are lucky to work closely with renowned physician scientists like our own Estée Torok, a clinical academic working in the Dept of Medicine at Cambridge University & Cambridge University Hospitals NHS.


Great working with a big team of people - Dr Charlotte Houldcroft Luke Meredith Grant Hall and many others Cambridge COVID-19 Genomics Lab with fantastic leadership by Ian Goodfellow and Estée Torok. All part of the UK-wide COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium collaboration

Scientists CAMBRIDGE FIGHTING COVID and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS have been using genome sequencing and staff screening to identify outbreaks of #COVID19. This has helped limit the spread of infection within the hospital: bit.ly/3iGVPXp Estée Torok Ian Goodfellow WeekesLab #genomics

We are so excited to share our genomic surveillance study in The Lancet Infectious Diseases to investigate cases of healthcare associated COVID19 - huge effort by Luke Meredith Will Hamilton Dr Charlotte Houldcroft Myra Hosmillo Yoya. AnnaY Grant Hall Estée Torok Ian Goodfellow + many others

I am extremely thankful and excited to have been able to learn and work with these fantastic scientists and physicians during the lockdown! The gratitude extends also to Rotary International & West Point Graduate Scholarship Program for this opportunity as a Rotary International Global Scholar!


Exciting to see that the Cambridge COVID-19 Genomics Lab team has published their work on rapid sequencing the SARS-CoV-2 virus in The Lancet! You can listen to our #podcast episode with Grant Hall to learn more about the research on Apple, Spotify, Google, AnchorFM: anchor.fm/bluesci-podcas…

Listen to Dr. Estée Török speaking with the The Guardian on our recent publication on the real-time implementation of genomic sequencing to investigate health-care associated COVID19!

Pre-print of our latest paper Cambridge COVID-19 Genomics Lab: genomic epidemiology of #Covid_19 in care homes including 700 care home resident #SARSCoV2 genomes. High mortality for care home residents with large clusters (care home outbreaks) & multiple introductions medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

"Studying #COVID19's genome helps highlight cryptic or hidden transmission. That's the real power of it - you can detect outbreaks and act while they're happening" 💬 Estée Torok ✍️ The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/…

Vaccines save lives .. I am look forward to having my #COVID #vaccine as soon as I can .. to protect me, my friends and family, my patients and everyone else I come into contact with @NIHR_Cam_CRF Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Royal Papworth Hospital NHS FT đź’™ CPFT Cambridge University

Our study on #COVID19 genomic epi in care homes out in eLife - the journal. Take-homes: #SARSCoV2 spreads readily through care homes; a single cluster usually causes most of the cases within each home. Mortality high. Infection control within care homes = priority. elifesciences.org/articles/64618

Scientists have used #genomics to help identify how #COVID19 spreads in care home settings, whose residents are at particular risk: bit.ly/3qgkZyx COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium Cambridge COVID-19 Genomics Lab Cambridge University Hospitals NHS @PHE_uk Wellcome Sanger Institute
