DESCRIPTION:# Overview\n\n\n* **Duration**: There is no longer a live perio
 d for this course\, and there will be no live monitoring of the forums\, b
 ut you can still join and complete the course throughout 2021.\n* Free\n* 
 Certificate of achievement available on satisfactory completion\n* **CPD A
 pproval**: Royal College of Pathologists (9 credits)\, Royal College of Nu
 rsing (9 credits)** **\n\n### Why join the course?\n\nThe increase in resi
 stance of harmful bacteria to antibiotics is a major global threat to heal
 th. Here we explore bacterial genomes and the use of genome sequencing to 
 identify and track these drug resistant bacteria. Join us to discover how 
 genome research is helping scientists and healthcare professionals track d
 isease outbreaks and prevent the rise of antibiotic resistant ‘superbugs
 ’.\n\n### Who is the course for?\n\nThis course will be of interest to s
 cientists\, healthcare professionals\, biomedical researchers and bioinfor
 maticians. The course offers all learners an opportunity to learn about ge
 nomes\, disease\, and antimicrobial resistance. You require no previous kn
 owledge of genome science to complete the course.\n\n### What do people sa
 y about this course?\n\n"_I would definitely point students to this resour
 ce. Text\, videos\, and figures were all very well done._" Pablo Tsukayama
 \, Assistant Professor of Microbiology "_A highlight of the course was the
  introduction to whole genome sequencing – new information for me._" Chr
 istine Laws\, Medical Doctor “_Exchanging genetic information quickly th
 roughout the world is clearly going to revolutionise the ability to combat
  disease._” Prue van der Hoorn\, Artist\n\n# Programme and start dates\n
 \n### What topics will you cover?\n\n\n* Diseases caused by bacteria\n* Wh
 at bacterial genomes look like\n* Genome sequencing technology\n* Mechanis
 ms of transmission and resistance\n* Genomic epidemiology – tracking the
  spread of bacterial pathogens\n* Antimicrobial resistance\n\n### What wil
 l you achieve?\n\nBy the end of the course\, you'll be able to...\n\n* Exp
 lain why some bacteria are pathogenic\n* Explore the structure of bacteria
 l genomes\n* Describe the uses of different genome sequencing technologies
 \n* Investigate how genome data are used to track the spread of bacterial 
 disease\n* Discuss the role of genome sequencing in stopping the spread of
  antimicrobial resistance\n\n# Educators\n\n## **Lead Educators**\n\n**[Dr
  Adam Reid][1]** I am a senior staff scientist at the Wellcome Sanger Inst
 itute near Cambridge in the United Kingdom. I'm interested in using genomi
 cs and bioinformatics to better understand infectious diseases. **[Dr Josi
 e Bryant][2]** I am a Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow in the University
  of Cambridge\, Department of Medicine. I am working on bacterial genomics
  and evolution with a focus on within-patient microbial diversity\n\n### D
 r Francesca Short\n\nI am a scientist at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. I 
 am interested in using functional genomics techniques to understand infect
 ions caused by the bacterium _Klebsiella pneumoniae_.\n\n## **Programme Le
 ad Educator**\n\n**[Professor Nicholas Thomson][3]** I am a Group Leader a
