Genomic epidemiology for surveillance and control of poverty-related and emerging/re-emerging infections in sub-Saharan Africa
The "Genomic epidemiology for surveillance and control of poverty-related and emerging/re-emerging infections in sub-Saharan Africa" program, part of Horizon Europe, aims to strengthen genomic epidemiology for public health decision-making in sub-Saharan Africa. This initiative seeks to integrate genomic and epidemiological capabilities to better monitor infectious diseases, excluding COVID-19 specific genomic epidemiology. It fosters collaboration between African and European organizations to achieve sustainable public health impact.
