Overview
The Australian Pathogen Genomics (AusPathoGen) Program is a large scale integrated public health pathogen genomics research program funded by the Commonwealth Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF), that will demonstrate the utility, cost-effectiveness, and capacity for translation of genomics into public health nationally. The program will deploy the national genomic platform (AusTrakka), for consistent analysis and reporting, and will collaborate with health departments and public health laboratories to implement national genomics-based responses to major infectious diseases, focusing on respiratory and vaccine preventable diseases, foodborne diseases, sexually transmitted infections and antimicrobial resistance.
