UF Health Researchers Join Global Effort To Track COVID-19 Pandemic and Others in Future
University of Florida Health researchers are joining an ambitious global effort led by The Rockefeller Foundation to better track the coronavirus and its variants and set up a network of collaborators to stop any nascent pandemic in the future.
UF is working with the University of Central Florida as one of The Rockefeller Foundation’s “U.S. Regional Accelerators of Genomic Surveillance” to establish a network of institutions and laboratories in Florida and, ultimately, throughout the Southeast.
A key focus is conducting genomic analysis of the virus to track emerging variants and provide a way to more clearly understand how COVID-19 is behaving as it ebbs and flows across the American landscape, said Marco Salemi, Ph.D., a faculty member in the UF Emerging Pathogens Institute who is helping lead the UF Health effort.
