An outbreak of a rare mosquito-borne virus in Southern China has prompted drastic containment strategies and sparked fears of another pandemic. To understand more about the situation, we spoke with Professor Roger Hewson, Virus Surveillance Lead in the Genomic Surveillance Unit (GSU) at the Wellcome Sanger Institute.

Genomic research is lacking representative data, which limits our ability to understand diseases and develop treatments. To fix this, we need to prioritise local leadership, capacity building, and equitable partnerships. Dr Gosia Trynka, Group Leader at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, shares her experience with Project JAGUAR, a large-scale Latin American genomics collaboration that aims to make genomics data more representative and support fair science and healthcare.

Representation in research is key to ensure that science can benefit all of us. The Wellcome Sanger Institute is one of the first research institutions in the UK to launch an organisational Representative Research Strategy. In this blog, we reflect on the Strategy, what it sets out to achieve, what it means and why it is important in today’s society.
