Investigator Grants
Grant Activity:
Developing Bioinformatics Capability to Diagnose Infectious Diseases using Clinical Metagenomics
Purpose:
Current methods to identify infectious pathogens are time-consuming, inaccurate, and unable to detect novel pathogens. This research will develop the bioinformatics and clinical tools needed to implement unbiased metagenomic sequencing as an improvement to current practice in pathogen diagnostics. This new approach can be implemented in remote and regional healthcare settings and will have enormous global impact on the world’s expanding tropical population, who have limited access to healthcare.
