EMBL turns 50 this year! 🎂 To celebrate, we are hosting an exciting scientific symposium on 4–5 July, in Heidelberg and online. It’s not too late to join our golden anniversary virtually. Register for #EMBL50 here: embl.org/about/info/cou…

Excited that our paper is finally out! Many thanks to my PI Lara Urban for guiding and pushing this project to the finish line and to everyone else involved especially my supervisors Ebenezer Foster-Nyarko and Nick Goldman!

Great talk by Lara Urban from Helmholtz AI & TU München on using #OneHealth real-time genomics approaches to monitor antimicrobial resistance #EMBL50

Lovely thank you to EMBL from Lara Urban for her time from EMBL-EBI PhD part of @EMBL and then her on going network past this.

Check out our blog post about our recent publication looking at the benefits of Nanopore sequencing for clinical microbiology: communities.springernature.com/posts/discover… Lara Urban :)

More news Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich: Ela Sauerborn's pub was highlighted as one of the best recent Nature Communications Microbio/Infectious disease papers: nature.com/collections/je…, Ela was invited by Oxford Nanopore to present it at #NCM24 #NanoporeConf & here our blog post: communities.springernature.com/posts/discover…

I am super excited that our paper is now also featured in the Nature Communications editors highlights for Microbio & ID papers! nature.com/collections/je…

Is Oxford #Nanopore sequencing ready for bacterial outbreak detection? Our new preprint is up: long read WGS of 78 #Listeria monocytogenes with diverse methylation patterns shows sufficient accuracy for most but not all clones. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

.Lara Urban & team demonstrate the ability of real-time nanopore sequencing in identifying the antibiotic resistance of pathogens hidden to standard methods — showcasing its potential to characterise drug resistant infections in hospital settings. bit.ly/4cXRZEE
