Our in-person workshops offer hands-on technical training across a range of pathogen genomic sequencing platforms and workflows—spanning both wet lab techniques and bioinformatics. Co-organised with national and international partners, these workshops are tailored to reflect regional priorities and emerging public health needs.

Beyond technical skills, the workshops foster trust and build a regional professional community. Each cohort forms active alumni networks that continue to share resources, troubleshoot challenges, and co-develop solutions across borders—creating a durable, collaborative network ready to respond to outbreak threats.

We welcome visiting scientists from across the region for targeted, hands-on training at our facilities. In collaboration with partners across Singapore, we design tailored programmes to meet specific skill and knowledge needs—ranging from field techniques to advanced genomic analysis.

One example is a collaboration with the Singapore National Environment Agency (NEA) and the Duke-NUS Emerging Infectious Diseases Programme (EID) to support the establishment of a dengue mosquito surveillance research programme in Nepal. As part of this initiative, we hosted two scientists from Nepal, equipping them with practical skills in mosquito trapping, identification, dissection, and genomic analysis.
