PhD candidate investigating genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 & STEC at the Quadram Institute with @mmbdtp.bsky.social 🧬🦠👩🏻‍💻 | she/her
Lovely reminder from @langridgelab.bsky.social that today’s actually the first day of the final year of my PhD – only a slightly daunting prospect…

Lovely to see that our latest paper investigating #SARS-CoV-2 genomic epidemiology in #Norfolk was one of the most read papers last month in #MicrobialGenomics!

Key highlights:
🔍 401 SARS-CoV-2 lineages were detected across the pandemic timeline
🔍 5 Variants of Concern were identified — with Alpha, Delta, and Omicron dominating
🔍 Four distinct regional epidemic waves identified
🔍 Clear variation in wave patterns between different regions

I’m also presenting my PhD work on #STEC Shiga toxin subtype stx2a for the first time! Swing by poster 41 to learn more about the subtype and its prevalence in the UK between 2016 - 2024. Thanks to @ellarodwell.bsky.social & Claire Jenkins at @ukhsa.bsky.social for support with this project!

Excited to be back at #ABPHM25 in Cambridge this year! Lots of very insightful talks and demonstrations of #bioinformatics & #genomics and their use in public health.
