PHA4GE Newsletter – March 2022

2022 kicked off with PHA4GE Working Groups continuing with closing-off activities from yesteryear, which all have an aim to strengthen microbial bioinformatics for public health. 

In this edition of our quarterly newsletter, the Data Structures Working Group gives an update on upgrading their SARS-CoV-2 and AMR tools. 

From some of the sub-awardees, we hear of their success stories on implementing standardized SARS-CoV-2 and AMR tools within national public health laboratories. 

The Ethics and Data Sharing Working Group gives an account on their new publication that interrogates benefit sharing in health research and proposes a framework that can be applied for benefit sharing in health research.
