Dr. Marie Anne Chattaway, an esteemed expert in microbiology and public health, will deliver a captivating plenary talk at the upcoming microbiology conference. With a wealth of experience as the pathogen lead in Salmonella and a track record of implementing genomics in gastrointestinal reference microbiology, Dr. Chattaway's presentation promises to offer invaluable insights into the intersection of genomics and public health. Drawing from her extensive expertise, she will elucidate the role of genomics in a reference microbiological setting, focusing on enteric diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Furthermore, she will delve into the realm of genomic surveillance of AMR, highlighting its integration with One Health approaches, including ongoing assessments of potential Salmonella transmission with pets. A pivotal aspect of her talk will be the exploration of global sentinel surveillance of enteric fever, providing an overview of the transformative impact of genomics on public health initiatives worldwide. Such as how the utilization of genomics provides robust evidence base essential for informing the updating of clinical guidelines, ensuring precision and efficacy in clinical practice. Through illuminating stories of real-world impacts, outbreaks, and global initiatives, Dr. Chattaway will showcase the power of public health genomics, catering to a diverse audience of scientists ranging from research to public health and pathology. This talk will also touch upon the critical angle of antimicrobial resistance, seamlessly weaving it into the broader narrative of genomics-driven public health interventions. Join us for an enlightening session that hopes to inspire and inform in equal measure.
