Revolutionising the Approach to Rapid Genome Sequencing in Acutely Unwell Children

August 11, 2025

Emma is Professor of Genomic Medicine at the University of Exeter. Her research involves the investigation of the molecular causes of rare inherited disorders within genetically isolated and diverse populations with the overarching aim of reducing genomic healthcare inequalities. With her is Andrew Parrish, the Data and Informatics Director of the South West Genomics Laboratory Hub and a Clinical Bioinformatician. Andrew’s work focusses on the creation, maintenance, and improvement of the pipelines and laboratory systems that allow the management of patient testing and generation of results from Next Generation Sequencing platforms within the GLH. In this video, they will speak about their hands-on experience with Constellation Mapped Read Technology and their impressions on how this technology could revolutionise the approach to Rapid Genome Sequencing.
