This month's @natrevmicro.nature.com is fantastic! Here @amsterdamumc.bsky.social, my team is building from scratch a next-gen clinical micro informatics infrastructure to support real-time pathogen surveillance; explicitly connecting the hospital to public health www.nature.com/nrmicro/volu...

Today I am very proud to announce the release of the Antibiotic Resistance Microbiology Dataset - Mass General Brigham (ARMD-MGB; physionet.org/content/armd...) , as part of an NIH-funded collaboration led by Jonathan Chen at Stanford. (1/6)
