WP lead: Norwegian Research Centre (NORCE)
Leader: Adriana Krolicka
Objectives:
- Develop a mobile surveillance laboratory (MSL) (vehicle-based) for semi-automated genetic tracking of human pathogens in environmental samples
- Update relevant libraries of human pathogen detection tools using new genomic knowledge of endemic pathogen diversity
- Provide extensive laboratory training of students in the molecular genetic methods used by the mobile surveillance laboratory through research exchanges
Summary of WP3: WP3 focuses on the development and optimization of low-cost, easy-to implement mobile solutions for qualitative and quantitative molecular analysis of environmental samples for epidemiological surveillance. This is to implement a holistic One Health approach and deliver efficient infectious disease surveillance, disease prevention and control, as well as public health emergency preparedness.
