Our article on Global spatial dynamics and vaccine-induced fitness changes of Bordetella #pertussis is out in @ScienceTM! Using #phylogenetic models, we investigate #pertussis spatial #spread, and #fitness shifts in response to vaccine changes. 🧵1/10 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…


Thrilled to have received this award, thank you @GenSocUK! Many thanks to @hsalje @JulianParkhill, @sylvainbrisse and the amazing research groups without whom the work wouldn't have been possible! @PDUCambridge @PathGenEvoCam

A big congratulations to @noemielefrancq on being awarded the Sir Kenneth Mather Memorial Prize🏅 for their exceptional PhD thesis on global dynamics of the bacterium behind whooping cough, using genomes from throughout Europe and the world! genetics.org.uk/medals-and-pri…

Our analysis on the genetic diversity of #nipah virus is out in JID! We analyzed 257 geocoded #genetic sequences collected between 1999 and 2020 in South and Southeast Asia. academic.oup.com/jid/advance-ar…


Finally made it! 🎉 Thanks to @nrt_thomson & @nunorfaria for examining my thesis and great discussions during the viva! Big thanks to @hsalje and @JulianParkhill and the great @PDUCambridge and @PathGenEvoCam teams for making these years amazing! 🦠

Congratulations to the amazing DR Noémie Lefrancq who passed her viva with no corrections. The work presents an exciting way to quantify evolving pathogen fitness from sequences that is relevant across diseases. Thanks to Nuno Faria and Nick Thomson for being great examiners.

Two weeks ago I gave a plenary at #Epidemics9 conference on privilege in academic epidemic modelling. You can read an overview (shorturl.at/cinDX) and watch a fresh recording if you have 45mins to spare (youtu.be/Jcr2dbiqLY4). Enjoy and send feedback please!

Hey molecular epidemiologists! If you ever asked yourself, “is it the same strain?”, this paper might be for you. Our sameStrain modelling framework created with @LullaOpatowski and Audrey Duval is published today in @LancetMicrobe doi.org/10.1016/S2666-…
