PrimalScheme is a tool for designing primer panels for multiplex PCR. It uses a greedy algorithm to find primers for tiling amplicon generation for multiple reference genomes.

This post-doctoral position will contribute to both complementary programmes, developing ‘broadband’ metagenomic sequencing capabilities for rapid detection and characterisation of emerging and unknow...

Measles outbreaks have surged globally in recent years, but current surveillance systems have limited capacity to monitor measles virus (MeV) transmission and evolution at population scale. Although M...

Case-based infectious disease surveillance is fundamental to public health, but is resource-intensive, logistically complex, and prone to sampling bias. Wastewater testing and sequencing have increasi...

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in global laboratory supply chains, disrupting genomic surveillance efforts essential to epidemic response. To address this challenge, we developed ARTIC ...

Project will build on research that helped diagnostic labs to adopt sequencing capacity for COVID-19 and permit characterisation of future infectious threats

The successful candidate will play a crucial role in developing an innovative TB diagnostic approach, collaborating across a multidisciplinary team to advance our novel enzymatic lysis technology. Key...

Introduction Case History: On January 30, 2025, the Ministry of Health declared an outbreak of Sudan Ebola Virus (SUDV) Disease in Kampala, Uganda, following the death of a healthcare worker at Mula...

Viral genome sequencing using the ARTIC protocol has been a vital tool for understanding the spread of epidemics including Ebola, Zika, COVID-19 and Mpox and has seen widespread adoption due to its lo...
