Can Global Genomic Surveillance Forecast the Next Pandemic?

PLOS: DNA Science

That’s thanks to accelerated genome sequencing technologies, expanded laboratory capabilities, and interacting infrastructure on a global level. Had we grown complacent in a world freed from a list of once-deadly infectious diseases, thanks largely to vaccines and other public health measures? Work on vaccines ensued too.

Tackling the Challenges of Limited Resources During a Pandemic

The Pharma Data

As laboratories around the world tackle the challenges of screening large numbers of samples for SARS-CoV-2, the managers of these labs have turned to the use of automation to address some key concerns. As there are fewer steps carried out by hand this reduces potential exposure for laboratory staff as well. In the examples below, we.
