We are excited to announce the 9th episode of the Genomic Horizons webinar series – Advancing Genomic Epidemiology for Public Health: Novel Clustering Techniques and Serial Interval Estimation for SARS-CoV-2 Sequences.

This episode will be presented by Prof. Caroline Colijn from Simon Fraser University and will explore the world of genomic epidemiology for public health, with a focus on novel clustering techniques and serial interval estimation for SARS-CoV-2 sequences.

Professor Colijn has broad interests in diversity, transmission and evolution of pathogens, and works in the applications of mathematics to questions in evolution and public health. She has a particular interest in genomic epidemiology, and developed one of the leading methods to estimate transmission networks and their uncertainty using genomic data. She leads the MAGPIE research group, which stands for “Mathematics, Genomics and Prediction in Infection and Evolution” and worked extensively on modelling, estimation, genomic epidemiology and evolution during the pandemic, serving in an advisory role to the British Columbia and Canadian governments.

The webinar will take place on 3 May 2023 at 14:00 UTC and will last for approximately one hour. To register, simply click on the following link:
