Summary

The 10th Applied Bioinformatics and Public Health Microbiology conference serves as a multidisciplinary forum to demonstrate how advances in microbial and viral genomics, bioinformatics, data science, and sequencing technology are being used to meet the growing needs of public health.

This year’s meeting will focus on the transformative impact of these advances on global public health, featuring sessions that exploring public health genomics, equity in public health, and infection control in healthcare. Attendees can expect to gain insights from a “State of the Union” session, which will provide nationwide perspectives from laboratories and industry.

New methods and algorithms will also be highlighted, with a session dedicated to scaling bioinformatics, focusing on infrastructure and industry. There will also be an opportunity to demonstrate new tools in the popular bioinformatics and data resources showcase. A significant portion of the programme will consist of talks derived from submitted abstracts.

This conference attracts clinical microbiologists and bioinformaticians, and researchers involved in public health, including professionals from reference laboratories and hospital settings.

The conference has been awarded 12 CPD credits by the The Royal College of Pathologists.
