Meet Dr Trish Swart, our DIPLOMICS bioinformatics coordinator. A seasoned mentor and researcher, Trish guides our team through complex data challenges and ensures each project reaches its fullest potential. Join us in celebrating her dedication and expertise! #WomeninSTEM

Open Science aims to make research more accessible by promoting the principles of being findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable (FAIR). Embracing Open Science, leads to more collaboration, faster scientific advancements and a more inclusive future #OpenScience

This World Breast Cancer Research Day, we celebrate how Omics sciences are revolutionising the fight against breast cancer. By analysing genetic makeup and cellular profiles, researchers can develop targeted therapies, enhancing treatment effectiveness. #OmicsForCure

Our team are attending the International Symposium on Microbial Ecology. Days 1 & 2 were filled with groundbreaking research and presentations. The omics session on Day 2 emphasised the importance of community-scale science and making big data more accessible. #ISME19 #DIPLOMICS

Well done to the krisp team! Providing capacity building opportunities to our partner labs is a vital part of our mandate to grow omics in South Africa. #omics #knowledgetransfer #sequencing #Genomics

Great resource provided by World Health Organization (WHO). Find out more about #Mpox here.

Today at ISME'19, sessions covered everything from marine microbial ecology to microbial interactions with plants and how microbes adapt to climate changes. Tulio's plenary on the CLIMADE Project was a highlight for the DIPLOMICS team. #MicrobialDiversity #DIPLOMICS #ISME19

Closing day at ISME included a fascinating talk on population level antibiotic resistance genes and brought us deeper into the mysteries of marine microbiology, microbial resistance, and microbial engineering. A perfect end to a week of rich scientific exchange #ISME19 #DIPLOMICS
