The fellow will be the bridge between clinicians at the bedside and researchers at CERI, allowing a fast scientific approach to newly emerged clinical questions. The fellow will set up new and strengthen existing collaborations. The fellow will have access to data generated at the largest and most automated genomic facility in Africa and will use this data to gain an understanding of transmission and the design of clinical and epidemiological mitigation strategies. The fellow will set up projects that allows rapid communication of this data to treating clinicians, in order to also benefit individual patient health care. The fellow will be able to work with the researchers in the CERI group to use these strategies to develop the best format in which to inform public health efforts. The fellow will be able to work with a team of bioinformaticians and epidemiologist to facilitate data integration, including clinical and vaccination data.
