Introducing Sequity: Building Sustainable and Impactful Microbial Genomics Capacity

Over the years, I’ve seen time and again how labs want to do more with genomics, but the path forward isn’t clear.
The whole process is complex- from figuring out the resources that are required, to deciding on study design, sequencing, bioinformatics and reporting. Without the right expertise and guidance, it’s all too easy to have broken systems, overwhelmed staff, and miss the impact genomics can deliver.
Enhancing Genomics Outcomes Through Partnership

I’ve had the privilege of working with public health labs, NGOs, clinicians and researchers all over the world to develop and deliver diverse genomics projects and training. Now, I want to go further.
I’ve seen the transformative power of genomics when it is implemented strategically, and I want to help more labs achieve that.
Let me introduce you to Sequity, your partner in microbial genomics. Sequity exists to help organisations translate their genomics goals into real, impactful outcomes.
We believe microbial genomics should be both accessible and sustainable, whether you're doing a stand-alone research study, or routine surveillance at the national public health level. Our approach is highly collaborative — working shoulder-to-shoulder with you to design, implement, and sustain genomics solutions that fit your unique context.
Services: Capacity Building for Microbial Genomics

Sequity helps you take the next step, whether you’re:
Starting your first genomics project
Scaling from pilot studies to thousands of samples per month
Strengthening existing sequencing capacity with strategy and training
Our services include:
Strategic planning for to get started with sequencing or scale up towards genomics programmes
Training for sequencing, bioinformatics, and epidemiology teams
Operational workflow development from sample collection to reporting
Ongoing technical and analytical support to address the challenges that come up in the day-to-day
Our goal is simple: to help you unlock the power of microbial genomics for public health and research impact.
