Metagenomics applied to surveillance of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance: registration open
13 November 2017 - 10 February 2018
Denmark
The content of the training will include theoretical background on DNA extraction and metagenomics sequencing, instruction on the use of freely available tools for metagenomics analysis, interpretation of metagenomics analysis results and demonstration of the potential of metagenomics for surveillance of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance.
The target group for the training are professionals working at veterinary services, food safety authorities and reference laboratories as well as universities and competent authorities responsible for and involved in AMR surveillance. Ideally, participants will have theoretical background in basic microbiology and general knowledge about microbial communities and bacterial genetics equivalent to a bachelor level.
Registration is free. It is strongly encouraged that participants of the workshop previously complete the online training as it provides the basis for the interactive component. More information on the workshop in Estonia, including accommodation booking details, will be available after the registration.
Please register no later than 10 February 2018:
