Genomic Epidemiology Workshop in Campinas, Brazil

This 5-day workshop took place between 2nd and 6th of February 2026, at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), São Paulo, Brazil, and brought together researchers, public health professionals, and policymakers from 5 continents and 13 countries – including DeZi Partners from Angola, Guinéa-Bissau, Brazil, USA, UK, and Belgium – to strengthen local capacity in genomic epidemiology of arboviruses.

Through hands-on training, expert talks, and collaborative discussions, participants will learn cutting-edge approaches to outbreak investigation and response while building lasting national and international partnerships. 

This workshop was organised by Dr. Darlan Candido and Prof. Nuno Faria, alongside colleagues from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) through the Institute of Biology (IB), the Graduate Programme in Genetics and Molecular Biology, the National Institute of Photonics Applied to Cell Biology (INFABIC), the Laboratory of Emerging Viruses (LEVE), the Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Virology (LABIV), the Dengue and Zika Immunology and Genomics Network (DeZi Network), and partners at the University of São Paulo (USP).
