Bioinformatics
- Become a leader on integrating and analysing local, regional and global bioinformatics data with clinical data in neglected tropical infectious disease. Leveraging our large melioidosis, rickettsiosis and AMR/DRI networks.
- Develop and evaluate how sequencing could be used on-site in LMICs. MORU will introduce Oxford Nanopore sequencing into our research projects to enable on-site sequencing in sites outside Bangkok, and investigate its utility in diagnostics and AMR investigation in real- time
- Build local bioinformatics and genomics capacity through training lectures and workshops.
- Study the highly complex and repetitive genome and the population genomics of Orientia tsutsugamushi and Burkholderia pseudomallei, and their genome dynamics over time.
