Location
Virtual

The Midwest Alliance for Applied Genomic Epidemiology (MAAGE) invites you to join our upcoming webinar on genomic surveillance techniques for infectious disease monitoring.

This interactive session will cover the latest advances in genomic surveillance and how they are being applied to track the evolution and spread of infectious diseases. Our expert speakers will share insights from MAAGE's ongoing surveillance programs and discuss how these approaches are enhancing public health response capabilities.

Topics to be covered:

  • Overview of genomic surveillance methodologies
  • Integration of genomic data with traditional epidemiological approaches
  • Real-time monitoring systems for emerging pathogens
  • Case studies: H5N1, SARS-CoV-2, and Mpox surveillance
  • Data sharing and collaborative networks
  • Future directions and emerging technologies

This webinar is designed for public health professionals, researchers, healthcare providers, and anyone interested in the application of genomics to infectious disease surveillance. No prior expertise in genomics is required.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during a dedicated Q&A session following the presentations.

Registration is free but required. A recording will be made available to registered participants after the event.
