At the 2025 ISCB-Africa ASBCB Bioinformatics Conference in Cape Town, UWC’s Professor Alan Christoffels urged students to bridge the gap between academic research and public health. Highlighting the role of bioinformatics and genomics in disease response, Christoffels emphasized the need for data standards, cross-border collaboration, and real-world impact in managing outbreaks across Africa and beyond.
At the ISCB-Africa ASBCB Conference, Keaghan Brown presented PHA4GE’s new online course on wastewater surveillance, designed to integrate genomics, bioinformatics, and diverse learning styles. Developed with Farzaana Diedericks, the course uses an avatar-led format to teach real-time pathogen tracking through wastewater monitoring—enhancing public health capacity in Africa and globally.
We’re excited to announce Episode 14 of the Genomic Horizons Webinar Series, featuring a talk by Conor Meehan, PhD, FHEA, FRSB, Associate Professor of Microbial Bioinformatics at Nottingham Trent University.
