Presentation Overview: Show
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant public health issue globally, as drug-resistant pathogens emerge and spread faster than the development of new antimicrobial drugs. To address this, bioinformatics tools have been developed to detect and monitor AMR genes, but many clinicians and health practitioners lack the necessary skills to use them. To bridge this gap, a user-friendly Google Colaboratory has been developed to allow users with limited bioinformatics skills to engage in AMR detection and visualization. The Colaboratory utilizes AMRFinderPlus and ResFinder programs for AMR detection and is standardized using the hAMRonization output specification for consistent and comparable AMR surveillance. Additionally, step-by-step instructions are provided for generating phylogenetic trees and visualizing the results using Microreact. The Colaboratory was validated through a workshop with Malaysian clinicians and health practitioners who found it easy to understand and use. Future plans include expanding capabilities to enhance contextual information for AMR surveillance and increasing data visualization options. The Colaboratory ultimately empowers clinicians and health practitioners to better understand and respond to the growing threat of AMR.

Presentation Overview: Show
Since 2016, the 4273pi project (www.4273pi.org) has been dedicated to introducing and showcasing bioinformatics to secondary school (high school) students across Scotland. We aim for equitable coverage of Scotland, including socially deprived and remote areas. We achieve this through delivering workshops in schools, creating teacher-ready lesson materials, and running events for teachers on how best to teach bioinformatics.
Our two core workshops link to the Scottish school curriculum at two levels of national testing (Nationals and Highers). These qualifications normally follow on from one another and are usually taken by students between 15 – 18 years as a requirement for entry into Higher Education. To help us explain what bioinformatics is, we get students to perform BLAST searches and navigate through the NCBI website. In the Higher workshops, we bring Raspberry Pi computers into schools and provide students some insights into using Linux command-line interfaces for DNA sequence alignment.
This poster shows our reach to date, showcasing some of the feedback we have received from students and teachers. We also outline a new workshop centred around PCR primer design, and how we are reimagining our existing workshops to meet the changing educational contexts and individual skills of Scottish students.
