Webinar spotlight: reaching beyond the science in genomics education
Listen to our sponsored Science webinar to learn about the significance of global education infrastructures in genomics, and their role in accelerating discovery science.
Educators representing our learning and training programme, share their perspectives on the benefits of integrating skills development and networking opportunities to build capacity and research communities in genomics.
This 60-minute session covers interesting insights on how education can directly support the future of?workforce development and genomics implementation, as well as enhance the value of structured PhD programmes.
"My message for everyone is to be open to allow your students and your peers to attend education and training, as you may be surprised at what else will come from it." - Dr Michelle Bishop, Associate Director
T3connect: Establishing a Community of Practice for pathogen genomics trainees
Our T3connect collaboration with the Centre for Genomic Pathogen Surveillance (CGPS), University of Oxford, has established a new community of practice for trainees in pathogen genomics.
Providing a platform for previous T3connect participants to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and collaborate on projects related to pathogen genomics. Through this community we hope to foster a culture of continued learning and innovation that will help us address the challenges in infectious disease genomics in the UK through capacity building.
New findings in microbiome research for global child health
In April 2023, we hosted the first Accelerating Research and Translation of Microbiomes to Improve Child Health retreat, at Hinxton Hall Conference Centre.
The forum brought together 40 leaders in gut microbiome research, funding, and policy, to discuss effective strategies for the translation of research to improve child health on a global scale.
Findings from the discussions are now available to read in a recent Nature comment piece. Dr Hilary Browne and Dr Trevor Lawley, Wellcome Sanger Institute, and other authors, outlined the challenges and opportunities facing scientists working to increase microbiome research in under-represented countries.

?? Genomics Lite - Genetic alchemy: The science of gene editing
?? Dr Nneka Anyanwu, Head of Gene Editing, Wellcome Sanger Institute, UK
??? 29 February, 4.30 pm GMT, online
In this session, Nneka will provide an overview of gene editing, taking you through the technology used to edit genomes, CRISPR-Cas9, and its application in large-scale screens. You will also explore the use of gene editing in synthetic biology and the role of artificial intelligence in their work.
Speaker highlights from our recent Epigenomics of Common Diseases conference.
Professor Susan Gasser, Friedrich Miescher Institute, Switzerland, discusses: Laminopathies, heterochromatin and muscle integrity: chromosome structure and disease.
