Our strategy for global impact in a rapidly changing world of infectious disease.

The Centre for Pathogen Genomics is pleased to announce the launch of its Strategic Plan 2027- 2031, setting out an ambitious agenda to strengthen multidisciplinary partnerships, advance innovation in pathogen genomics research, and establish the Centre as a global leader in public health pathogen genomics.

Vision: Advancing pathogen genomics with transformative research linking policy and practice
