The activities within PHA4GE are aligned to its vision of achieving a rapid global genomic-driven public health response to disease outbreaks. Each of these working groups benefit from collaborative work among its members.
Standardized data structures and interchange formats are critical to the development of an open software ecosystem, and will empower more participants to analyze and govern their own data, regardless of resource status.
Enabling Global Public Health to adapt more readily to changing priorities and emerging threats and to promote innovation, collaboration and development from public/private sector.
Well integrated tools are critical to convey actionable information to a range of stakeholders and decision-makers across multidisciplinary public health teams.
Advancing the use of open data and open source software, empowering more laboratories to analyze and govern their own data regardless of resource status.
PHA4GE is a global coalition that is actively working to establish access to flexible, sustainable bioinformatics capacity. This is a critical need for public health laboratories throughout the world as pathogen sequencing becomes more routine.
We have the vision of fostering the development, innovation and collaboration amongst the global public health bioinformatic workforce by reducing barriers to entry.
This month's edition showcases global collaboration in public health genomics, from record-breaking Ebola detection in Uganda to pioneering wastewater surveillance and data-sharing initiatives.
Dr Joshua Levy, project scientist at Scripps Research in the US, visited the PHA4GE Secretariat hub at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) at the end of March.
Professor Alan Christoffels’ whirlwind three-day trip to Switzerland and Germany in March proved a productive one as it lay the groundwork for exciting new ventures for global bioinformatics and for PHA4GE.
We’re excited to announce Episode 13, featuring a talk by Dr. Zoe A. Dyson, Assistant Professor at LSHTM!
PHA4GE kicked off work on malaria genomics data standards at ASTMH 2024 in New Orleans, where Alan Christoffels and Tracey Calvert-Joshua presented a funding proposal on metadata collection.
The Africa CDC hosted its second data-curation workshop in Addis Ababa, building capacity for high-quality pathogen data sharing via the Agari platform. Experts from PHA4GE, SANBI, and NCBI led the training to enhance public health data use.
