Presenters' biography


Speaker 1 -  Niamh Lacy-Roberts (Technical University of Denmark, Denmark)

I hold a BSc in Biomedical Science from Edinburgh Napier University and an MSc in Bioinformatics from the University of Copenhagen. I am passionate about combining my laboratory experience and bioinformatics skills to support antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance and strengthen whole genome sequencing (WGS) capacity. I specialize in Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) long-read sequencing, with hands-on experience in both laboratory work and data analysis. As a research assistant in the Global Capacity Building Group at the Technical University of Denmark, I work on the Fleming Fund Regional Grant project, SEQAFRICA. My role involves developing ONT sequencing protocols and delivering bioinformatics training as part of the SEQAFRICA initiative.
