Artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting on many aspects of biomedical sciences and healthcare. We have been implementing AI methods that use whole genome sequencing data to identify pathogen mutations to predict drug resistance, geography, and outbreaks.

Members of our team celebrate their PhD's on graduation day

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s winner of the Garnham prize is Dr. Daniel Ward. The Garnham prize is a prestigious award that recognizes the best overall PhD thesis in laboratory sciences within the LSHTM, each academic year. It is named after Professor Cyril Garnham, who was one of the UK’s foremost parasitologists in the 20th century, renowned for his outstanding achievements as both a laboratory scientist and a field worker in the tropics. Dr. Daniel Ward’s thesis covered the development of molecular and serological tools for infection outbreaks. Congratulations to Dan.
