Excited to share our latest work on early-life Bifidobacteria. We built a global genomic atlas of 4,000+ genomes from 48 countries for B. infantis and B. longum, expanding previous resources by 15-fold. Great team effort @LawleyLab @sangerinstitute @ChainNetwork @KEMRI_Wellcome

We thank everyone who attended or supported this novel Conference. We look forward to a future of collaborations and united efforts to fighting AMR in our society.
The #AMRKenya2026 conference concluded, emphasizing that effective AMR control is founded on robust systems. Strong data and governance, embedded stewardship, and diagnostics that translate evidence into action are essential in the fight against AMR. The future of AMR control in Africa must be built locally, using African data, leadership, and systems and strengthened through partnerships and sustainable financing. #AMRKenya2026 #Datathatcounts @KEMRI_Kenya @MOH_Kenya @NPHIKenya @ChainNetwork @jayberkley @mitchmaina @amulele_anne @ChristinaObiero

Wonder what it's like to work in a lab? Our Student Advancement Research (StAR) program provides Indigenous, Black & Filipino high school students a chance to work on research projects over the summer. Congrats to this year's graduates - thanks for contributing to #SKResearch!
