PCUV Events

The way we understand epidemics has evolved over time. We now have the ability to sequence entire populations of pathogens, identify their genetic differences and trace links between them in a matter of days. This allows us to observe at an unprecedented resolution the evolution of a pathogen at different scales, from global expansion to local outbreak with a direct impact on the management of the epidemic.

Iñaki Comas, director of the Tuberculosis Genomics Unit at the Institute of Biomedicine of Valencia (IBV-CSIC), will address the study of tuberculosis pathogens and SARS-CoV-2 in the lecture Using genomics to track global health pathogens: genomics to track global health pathogens, which will take place on Friday, April 30 at 12:30 pm. Access to this seminar organized by the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA-CSIC) will be through the following link: https://zoom.us/j/92362489679?pwd=a2tHS010UU12VTBvOGpxQWs1K1ptUT09.

At the end of the talk, there will be a question and answer session, which can be done through the session chat or by activating the camera and microphone for those who wish to ask a question.
