The two-week training is intended for ten “country teams” of one bioinformatician, one microbiologist and one epidemiologist to promote the collaboration of inter-disciplinary teams within public health institutions. The curriculum is developed around case studies on vaccine-preventable diseases (e.g. common outbreak scenarios) to be solved by leveraging on interdisciplinary collaboration.
Dates and duration: 2 – 13 December 2024 (10 days).
Audience: This training is designed for Microbiologists, Epidemiologists, Bioinformaticians and Public Health Specialists.
Objectives: The overall objective of this training is to improve the knowledge of and capacity for applied genomic epidemiology and bioinformatics for public health action. Further it aims to promote the collaboration of inter-disciplinary well integrated teams within the public health institutions.
After completing this course, the participants should be able to:
- Use open-source tools for integrated analysis and visualisation of whole genome sequencing and epidemiological data.
- Explain how the interdisciplinary interpretation of such integrated (whole genome sequencing and epidemiological) results can inform infectious disease prevention and control.
Participation: This training is not open for self-enrolment. Participation is through invitation only.

The overall objective of this training is to strengthen programming knowledge and skills, database management, and the use and development of bioinformatic tools in the public health context.
Dates and duration: 26 February – 8 March 2024 (10 days).
Audience: This training is designed for Microbiologists, Public Health Specialists and "Bioinformaticians-to-be".
Objectives: After completing this training, the participants should be able to:
- Process sequencing data (from raw data to genomes).
- Critically evaluate data quality at all steps of the process.
- Write basic python/bash scripts, to extract relevant information from processed data.
- Write a basic processing pipeline.
- Explain the importance and underlying principles of good coding practice, code documentation and code sharing.
- Perform basic analysis supporting epidemiological investigations, including interaction with public databases.

This podcast presents an introduction to virology, genetic epidemiology and bioinformatics. In this episode, ECDC’s expert in genetic epidemiology and bioinformatics – Theresa Enkirch gives us an overview of what genetic epidemiologists and bioinformaticians do and how that has changed the current epidemiological world.
She also talks about a brand new ECDC course – the GenEpiBioTrain – that can properly boost one’s knowledge about all matters regarding bioinformatics and genetic epidemiology.
Duration: 20 minutes
Audience: general public
Participation: This podcast is open for public.
The aim of this virtual training is to introduce participants to theoretical and practical aspects of analysing SARS-CoV-2 amplicon sequence data (mainly ARTIC amplicon panels) from single patient samples. Participants will get insights into the background of amplicon panels, analysis steps and tools, as well as data quality control.
Duration: Two half-days on 25 and 26 September 2023
Location: Online - Find the link after enrolment.
Audience: Experts interested in analysing amplicon sequencing data of SARS-CoV-2 with the DRAGEN COVID Lineage on the
Illumina BaseSpace cloud. A free Illumina BaseSpace account is required and
should be registered before the training.
Objective: After completing this training, you will be able to conduct a basic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 amplicon sequencing data to detect mutations and determine the variant. You will have a basic understanding of the analysis steps and quality control parameters.
Participation: The recordings of this course are open for public enrolment.
You will find course material that you may use to offer a training for your target audience. Your target audience could include beginners in bioinformatics or public health professionals, who are expected to have a future role in using whole-genome sequencing for public health and pathogen surveillance
Audience: Trainers in introduction to Genomic Epidemiology and Public Health Bioinformatics.
