🚨 Strengthening health security means fixing gaps.
While IVDR aims to enhance patient safety, it may hinder preparedness for emerging pathogens. With smart adjustments, we can protect innovation and stay ready.

@DURABLE_EU partners are proud to announce the One Health Approaches to Study Climate-Sensitive Infectious Diseases Summer School, which will take place 17–28 August 2026 in two European hubs:
@ErasmusMC and @Heidelberg University)

🦠@DURABLE_EU scientists mapped how bird flu (H5) evolves and used that to design smarter vaccines. In lab tests, one vaccine protected against multiple virus strains. A big step toward pandemic-ready flu shots.

🧬 Probe-based pathogen enrichment + NGS is reshaping complex diagnostics!
Using Illumina RPIP & UPIP panels detection jumped from 73.7% to 79.8%.
A leap forward for infectious disease diagnosis at 🇵🇹 INSA.

A new @DURABLE_EU study found that only ~35% of traced transmission links were confirmed by virus sequencing.
🧬 Genomics helps verify who infected whom—critical for smarter outbreak control.

😷 A 2022 study in a daycare found human viruses in 40/42 indoor air samples, even without symptoms.
Air monitoring could help detect outbreaks before hospitals do.

How did Czech @DURABLE_EU scientists track COVID’s every move?
A nationwide genomics network employing Fast PCR + deep genome sequencing spotted new variants before they spread—like AY.20.1, born in the Czech Republic.
