Environmental & Wastewater Microbiome Surveillance — Hands-on

Learn how to plan, execute and interpret environmental and wastewater microbiome surveillance projects. From sampling and concentration through sequencing based profiling, indicator panel design and trend dashboards, you will build workflows that support wastewater based epidemiology (WBE) , AMR surveillance and environmental risk tracking.

WBE & Environmental Surveillance Foundations

Concepts in environmental and wastewater microbiomes

rivers, lakes, soils and effluents sewage as an aggregate population sample links to pathogens, AMR and pollutants

Wastewater based epidemiology (WBE) mindset

signal generation from community inputs flows, catchments and sewershed thinking advantages and limitations vs clinical testing

Study design and surveillance objectives

trend monitoring vs early warning sentinel sites vs dense networks linking design to public health questions

Session 2

Fee: Rs 11800

Sampling, Concentration & Extraction Workflows

Sampling strategies for environmental and wastewater sites

grab vs composite sampling concepts time and flow proportional perspectives site selection and safety considerations

Concentration, filtration and preservation thinking

filters, pellets and concentrates stabilization and transport windows inhibitors and matrix complexity awareness

Extraction workflows and quality checkpoints

nucleic acid yield and purity views controls for process performance linking extraction to downstream assays
