Clinical Genomics Webinar Series
Clinical Genomics Örebro is hosting this webinar as part of the Clinical Genomics Platform webinar series
Rapid Metagenomic Pathogen Detection from Primary Clinical Samples
| Rapid metagenomic sequencing directly from clinical samples has the potential to transform infectious disease diagnostics by enabling culture-independent detection of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance markers within clinically actionable timeframes. In this webinar, Adela Medina will present recent advances in unified metagenomic workflows for respiratory and bloodstream infections, including rapid nanopore-based detection of bacteria, viruses, and fungi directly from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and blood samples. Daniel Golparian will focus on whole genome sequencing of sexually transmitted infection (STI) pathogens directly from urine samples, highlighting applications for diagnostics and antimicrobial resistance surveillance. Together, the presentations will showcase how sequencing technologies, host DNA depletion strategies, and bioinformatic approaches are advancing direct-from-sample pathogen genomics in clinical microbiology. |
Everyone is welcome so feel free to spread the details with anyone who may be interested. Hope to see you there!
