This award funds a project to develop a geo-enabled system for detecting and responding to antimalarial resistance in Ghana, enhancing genomic and geospatial surveillance capabilities with implications for infectious disease monitoring in the U.S.
Description
The project addresses the urgent need for integrated genomic and geospatial surveillance of antimalarial resistance, leveraging collaborations between US and West African institutions. It aims to strengthen Ghana’s malaria genomic surveillance network, support real-time visualization of molecular markers, and improve operational response systems. The project will generate transferable knowledge applicable to infectious disease surveillance in the U.S. and inform future approaches for outbreak detection and response.
