Summary

Gastrointestinal disease caused by the consumption of contaminated food is a major public health concern, requiring significant resources to identify the source of infections. The successful candidate will work with the UK Health Security Agency to develop cutting-edge genomic machine learning models to predict the source of foodborne pathogens. These tools will then be used to support public health decision making and facilitate rapid responses to future outbreaks.
