Two of the University of Edinburgh's networks came together on the 6th September 2024 at the Nucleus Building, King's Buildings Campus for a meeting on how host, pathogen and microbial genomics can be used to better understand infectious disease. The highlight of the day were the two keynote presentations from Professor Johannes Krause (MPI Leipzig) on using archaeogenetics to understand the origins of the Black Death, and Professor Mara Lawniczak (Sanger Institute) on how genomics can be used in the control of malaria.Members of the Edinburgh Infectious Diseases and One Heath Genomics Edinburgh communities heard a series of talks from researchers using the genomics of hosts and/or pathogens in humans, animals and plants.
