High-Sensitivity Targeted NGS Variant Detection of Viral and Bacterial Pathogens for Healthcare and Environmental Surveillance

Watch a 51-minute webinar exploring advanced techniques for detecting viral and bacterial pathogen variants using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, presented by Dylan Barbera, Global Product Manager at QIAGEN. Learn about cutting-edge approaches to pathogen surveillance in healthcare and environmental settings, with particular focus on the detection and differentiation of variants of concern. Discover how NGS-based wastewater analysis serves as an early warning system for community health by identifying SARS-CoV-2 variants and other microbial species. Explore the importance of microbial surveillance in clinical settings where co-infections, such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza, can impact patient outcomes. Gain insights into targeted and sensitive variant detection methods for whole genome characterization of diverse microbial pathogens, drawing from the presenter's extensive background in biochemistry, molecular biology, and NGS technology.
