Project Description
Emerging viral diseases threaten human health globally, and West Africa is a source and major epidemic location for many. We will develop a new generation of West African scientists to predict, prevent and contain emerging viral diseases through multidisciplinary scientific and public health training by leveraging the resources of our West African Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases, outstanding research leaders in West Africa, and the exceptional breadth and depth of expertise in emerging viral diseases at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB).
