The Genomic Surveillance for Ebola Virus project establishes a comprehensive framework for real-time pathogen genomics during outbreak situations.

By deploying portable sequencing technology and bioinformatics pipelines in field settings, we can rapidly characterize viral genomes, identify transmission clusters, and detect concerning mutations that may affect vaccine efficacy or disease severity.

This initiative represents a paradigm shift from reactive outbreak response to proactive genomic intelligence. The project aims to generate complete Ebola virus genomes within 24-48 hours of sample collection, reconstruct transmission networks through phylogenetic analysis, and share genomic data through international databases.

By training local scientists in genomic epidemiology methods, we’re building sustainable capacity for future outbreak preparedness.
