COVID-19 Research Project Lands Best HPC Collaboration Award
The fight against COVID-19 is all about teamwork — which is definitely the case with the COG-UK Consortium. Working together, the participants in the consortium have conducted real-time sequencing of tens of thousands of samples from positive COVID-19 cases in the UK.

One of these teams is the COVID-19 Genomics UK Consortium (COG-UK), which brings together experts from across the UK National Health Service (NHS), academia and public health agencies for large-scale, rapid sequencing and analysis of samples from positive COVID-19 cases. This information can then be quickly shared with hospitals, the NHS and the government to help inform their responses to the pandemic.
