The PHA4GE 2025 Consolidated Wastewater Surveillance (WWS) Course integrates bioinformatics and sequence analysis to enhance public health response. This training focuses on standard genomic pipelines, guiding participants through the transition from complex samples to high-resolution data analysis and reporting. By bridging the gap between computational workflows and epidemiological needs, the course equips professionals to transform wastewater sequencing into actionable genomic intelligence for real-time pathogen tracking and informed health policy.
