Trudy Wassenaar
With over 20 years of experience in scientific consulting there are few problems that the founder of MMGC can't solve. The subject areas of microbiology she has been involved in are diverse and cover both molecular biology and genetics/genomics of bacteria and viruses. Her List of Publications speaks for itself.
MMGC experience and partners
Principal research consultant of MMGC is Dr. Trudy Wassenaar. In addition, partners with excellent knowledge on graphic design, taxonomy, web performance and bioinformatics can be called upon when needed.

Conserved mutations in the latest Monkeypox virus clade were characterized
The current global outbreak of Moneypox virus required a detailed bioinformatic analysis to determine which mutations are consistently present in isolates that are now being detected. Some of these may have caused changes in the virus' behavior, such as increasing the replication rate or virus titers, which needs to be experimentally verified.
