Deutsch et al., 2024
Virus Genomics

Mobilisation and analyses of publicly available SARS-CoV-2 data for pandemic responses

Shows that pandemic response can be transformed from fragmented efforts into coordinated, data-driven surveillance through scalable open-data infrastructures, though it implicitly depends on sustained global data sharing.

Rahman et al., 2024
Virus Genomics

Identification of mutations in SARS-CoV-2 PCR primer regions

Demonstrates at scale that viral evolution can directly compromise PCR diagnostics, turning test reliability into a moving target.

Provides curated and standardized datasets for pathogen surveillance and analysis.

Kilim et al., 2023
Social & Epidemiology

Clusters of science and health related Twitter users become more isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic

Analysis of Twitter user clusters discussing science and health topics during the pandemic.

Durazzi et al., 2021
Social & Epidemiology

Dynamics of social media behavior pre- and post-SARS-CoV-2 infection

It demonstrates that large-scale social media data can function as a real-time, population-level signal for disease progression and surveillance.

Durazzi et al., 2023
Social & Epidemiology

Language models learn to represent antigenic properties of human influenza A(H3) virus

Demonstrates that AI language models can translate viral sequence data into functional antigenic insight, bridging genomics and vaccine decision-making.

Durazzi et al., 2025
Social & Epidemiology

Modelling antimicrobial resistance transmission to guide personalized antimicrobial stewardship interventions and infection control policies in healthcare setting: a pilot study

Shows that antimicrobial resistance control can be personalized by linking transmission dynamics to individual patient data.

Durazzi et al., 2023
Environmental Surveillance

A case study using sewage metagenomic data for assessment of text-to-SQL capabilities in large language models

Explores seasonal trends and source attribution using sewage metagenomics data.

Becsei et al., 2025
Environmental Surveillance

Time-series sewage metagenomics distinguishes seasonal, human-derived and environmental microbial communities potentially allowing source-attributed surveillance

Demonstrates that wastewater sequencing can move from bulk monitoring to source-resolved surveillance by separating overlapping microbial signals in time.

Becsei et al., 2024
