We aim to develop methods for expanding wastewater surveillance to new pathogens, enabling population-scale monitoring of a wide variety of infectious diseases. We are developing a novel Cas9-based targeted sequencing method to enrich antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) in wastewater alongside their genomic context to identify the species and...

Contaminated water supplies in health facilities place patients at risk for antibiotic resistant infections, leading to poor health outcomes. Globally, more than 20% of health facilities lack even basic water services. To provide low-cost water treatment, the Pickering Lab has been developing a passive in-line chlorination technology, known...
