Decoding the Invisible: Mapping the Future of Disease Intervention

At the Pathogen Genomics Laboratory, we bridge the gap between massive biological data and life-saving medical breakthroughs. We don’t just study pathogens; we dismantle them at the molecular level to understand how they thrive, evolve, and invade.

Our Mission

Using high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing coupled with advanced bioinformatics, we expose the genomic blueprints of the viruses, bacteria, and parasites that threaten global human and animal health in the Kingdom and beyond. 

The Questions Driving Our Research

• The Blueprint: What is the fundamental genetic makeup of a pathogen?
• The Weaponry: What specific mechanisms transform an organism into a threat?
• The Evolution: How do pathogens adapt and survive within natural populations?
• The Battlefield: How do they manipulate and conquer their hosts?

From Data to Defense.

By mastering the genomics of these microbes, we are paving the way for the next generation of detection, surveillance, and intervention strategies.
