That's a wrap on the #APGSymposium 2023, hosted by @UniMelb! Thanks to all the partners that were able to join us in-person and online, and looking forward to 2024 #pathogengenomics #PublicHealth #research @CDGN_Australia
Our public health lab is looking for a bright genomic epidemiologist to work with the MRFF @AusPathoGen program!

We are delighted to hold the RCPA Annual Admission of New Fellows & Awards Ceremony at #PathUpdate2023. This year, we induct 80 new Fellows. See you there!
Got a few more alphabets under my signature, RCPA FFSc(Research). Maybe my signature might have weight

It was a privilege to host the @CDGN_Australia Annual Members Meeting face-to-face in Canberra yesterday. The group reflected on the progress and achievements over the last 12 months, and looked ahead to 2023 for further integration of #pathogen #genomics for #PublicHealth
#ipnc2022 what a great conference focusing on two of my fave bacteria, N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae!

Bakta is a worthy successor to Prokka, which has been neglected in recent years. Bakta is being actively developed with new features that Prokka never had, so I encourage Prokka users to try it out!
🦠🧬🖥️ We've released v1.5.0 of Bakta along with a huge DB update!
New features:
- detection of pseudogenes
- assignments of KEGG Orthology accessions
- addition of 9.8 million E.C. numbers to PSCs
