What a fantastic way to wrap up our #MicroSeq2025 talks! Leah gives our junior researchers some valuable career advice, like go new places, find mentors, reflect and introspect, and be strategic about taking opportunities!

Hospital settings generate SO much sequence data, which needs to be efficiently explored and analysed for routine #surveillance. Watch this space - Leah’s got a fantastic framework coming to establish a #plasmid reference network - a plasmid #pangenome.
