In this edition of the PHA4GE newsletter, we explore efforts to strengthen genomic data infrastructure in Nepal, highlight partnerships with the IPSN and Robert Koch Institute, and examine the next phase of the advISO project. We also spotlight AI-driven cholera surveillance and Ebolavirus drug discovery, celebrate two years of Pathoplexus, and share the latest developments from PHA4GE’s Working Groups.

In this edition of the PHA4GE newsletter, we reflect on key discussions from the IPSN meetings in Berlin and GMI16 in Tunis, spotlight computational biologist Iqra Saleh, and explore how PHA4GE wastewater standards are supporting antimicrobial resistance surveillance in Argentina. We also share the latest Working Group updates and insights on scaling genomic innovation through policy, partnerships and prevention.

In this edition of the PHA4GE newsletter, we introduce Dr Shurendar Selva Kumar and his work advancing TB genomics standardisation in Asia, share updates from the Data Structures Working Group, and spotlight emerging scientist Khaleila Flisher. We also explore structural biology training across Africa, highlight avian influenza surveillance in Laos, and share the latest developments from the PHA4GE community.

In this edition of the PHA4GE newsletter, we introduce our new funding committee led by Dr Stephanie van Wyk, highlight the application of PHA4GE standards in Australia, and spotlight Dr Rekha Sathyan’s work in public health genomics. We also share upcoming webinars and international conferences, alongside new insights and opportunities from across the PHA4GE community.

In this edition of the PHA4GE newsletter, we welcome our first cohort of postdoctoral research fellows, spotlight Dr Palesa Makoti’s work in advancing accessible genomics for public health, highlight the GA4GH 14th Plenary in Singapore, and share the latest insights from our community through PHA4GE YouTube Shorts.

Explore the latest advances in pathogen genomics, metadata standards, wastewater surveillance and global collaboration driving better public health decisions.

From regional workshops and new initiatives to behind-the-scenes tool development and dialogue, this issue highlights the collective power driving data equity and community-led public health genomics across Africa and beyond.

This month's edition showcases global collaboration in public health genomics, from record-breaking Ebola detection in Uganda to pioneering wastewater surveillance and data-sharing initiatives.

This edition reflects on a year of progress in public health genomics, highlighting tools like AMRColab, groundbreaking data-sharing initiatives, and achievements such as Pathoplexus's recognition in open research.
