Dr. Farhat is an Assistant Professor of of
Biomedical Informatics atHarvard Medical School and a a practicing physician at
the Massachusetts General Hospital Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care
Medicine.
Dr. Farhat's research focuses on the development and application of methods for associating genotype and phenotype in infectious disease pathogens, with a strong emphasis on translation to better diagnostics and surveillance in resource-poor settings. Farhat's work has focused on bacterial and viral pathoges and spans the spectrum from computational analysis to field studies. She is PI and Co-Investigator on several large projects funded by NIH including the NIAID and the BD2K initiative.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the etiologic agent of tuberculosis (TB), which claims over a million lives per year. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a virulent barcoded M. tuberculosis Erdman strain that has been used extensively for non-human primate infection research studies, characterized using long- and short-read technologies.
