Centre for Pathogen Genomics
The Centre for Pathogen Genomics at the University of Melbourne (Doherty Institute) was established in 2022 as an academic and training hub to advance integrated pathogen genomics programs and create collaborative opportunities for translational research, genomics-informed regional infectious disease surveillance, capacity building and training.
Researchers and research associates of the Centre comprise of people working and interested in pathogen genomics from across the University of Melbourne, the Doherty Institute and Partners nationally and internationally. We are pathogen agnostic, and our research is focussed on using pathogen genomics to address five disciplines: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), Surveillance and Response, the Microbiome, One Health, and Pandemic Preparedness and Response.
WHO Collaborating Centre Antimicrobial Resistance
The WHO Collaborating Centre Antimicrobial Resistance works under the leadership of the WHO, particularly the Western Pacific Regional Office, to strengthen and build antimicrobial stewardship and laboratory capacity for diagnosis and surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Based at the Doherty Institute, in Melbourne, Australia, the Centre is one of 30 designated AMR Collaborating Centres worldwide in place to support the WHO with activities to prevent, detect and monitor, and respond to AMR.
