OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Portable, digital pathogen detection and surveillance in real-time
New sequencing technologies coupled with comparative genomics and evolutionary analysis are poised to impact our response to infectious disease outbreaks. Sequencing data, if collected in real-time can inform outbreak response efforts. In this talk, I will discuss recent progress in developing a real-time genomics-informed outbreak system as part of the ARTIC collaboration, focused around real-time nanopore sequencing, and talk about the potential and challenges for using culture-independent sequencing-based diagnostics to detect pathogens in outbreaks of unknown disease.
