By integrating the interdisciplinary knowledge of population genetics and genomic epidemiology, and applying multi-omics technologies such as next-generation sequencing and genomics, we aim to solve practical epidemiological problems such as pathogen detection and source-tracking, and reveal the evolution and outbreak dynamics and pathogenic mechanisms of important infectious pathogens, providing scientific basis and technical support for the prevention and control of infectious diseases.
