The Pathogen Program is developing an end-to-end diagnostic tool to support the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, starting with respiratory infections and sepsis. A database of global sequencing data will provide the crucial information needed to explain the origin of the pathogen and whether it is resistant to existing treatments. This type of full-stack system will be beneficial in diagnosing disease and supporting pandemic preparedness in the future.

"I am incredibly fortunate to be part of an organisation that takes a bold, end-to-end approach to tackling global challenges. We're breaking down silos and genuinely embracing transdisciplinary collaboration - which is something I find deeply inspiring. Coming to work daily is a real joy as I’m part of a fantastic team where we work hard and laugh often. What really motivates me is that I get to engage daily with some of the brightest young minds from around the world, journeying with them through their studies in Oxford and their engagement with EIT’s programs."
