UK- Research – How pathogen genomics could help us detect new health threats and improve vaccines.

UKSHA

Pathogen genomics is an important tool in our mission to prepare for and respond to infectious disease threats as well as food safety.

Our new 5-year Pathogen Genomics Strategy will establish a unified programme to enhance and expand our excellence in this field. Using pathogen genomics, we will increase our understanding of infectious disease risks, and enable effective evaluation of interventions to mitigate them.

In this blog post at the above link, we will explore the role of pathogen genomics in UK biosecurity and how we are developing our genomic systems to better protect public health in the UK.
