GenEpi-BioTrain - Training Materials on Interdisciplinary Genomic Epidemiology and Public Health Bioinformatics

You will find course material that you may use to offer a training for your target audience. Your target audience could include epidemiologists, microbiologists, and bioinformaticians, who are expected to collaborate in using whole-genome sequencing for public health and pathogen surveillance.


Audience:  Facilitators of interdisciplinary county teams to stimulate their collaboration to interpret integrated analysis and visualisation of WGS data to inform infectious disease prevention and control.


Objectives: 

Learning objectives of the training material include:

    • Enhancing participants’ knowledge and skills in genomic epidemiology and bioinformatics; 
    • Furthering participants’ knowledge and use of open source tools for integrated analysis and visualisation of WGS and epidemiological data; 
    • Supporting participants’ deeper understanding of how the interdisciplinary interpretation of such integrated results can inform infectious disease prevention and control; 
    • Promoting the collaboration of interdisciplinary well integrated teams within the public health institutions.


Access: These course materials are open for public, regardless of people intending to teach the topic or learn form the materials in a self-study modality.
