Project: Understanding the transcriptomic dynamics that govern the infective process of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Coin Group
This project in Mycobacterium tuberculosis transcriptomics aims to understand the transcriptomic dynamics in tuberculosis and offers a unique opportunity to uncover the intricate regulatory networks that govern their infective dynamics. We will leverage cutting-edge transcriptomics techniques using long-read sequencing nanopore technologies to provide insights into mycobacterial infections. These studies will contribute to the development of novel, rapid and effective diagnostics.

The Coin group applies genomic sequencing to characterise and understand the dynamics of human and bacterial genomics and transcriptomics. We utilise long-read, real-time sequencing for detection and characterization of bacterial pathogens direct from samples, and are leaders in the development of host immune response biomarkers for detection of bacterial and viral infections.We develop and use algorithmic approaches for analysis of high throughput sequence data.
