Project Details
Description
GenEpi-BioTrain is an ambitious 4-year training program launched by ECDC in January 2023 to enable public health professionals to use and share genomic information for surveillance, outbreak response, and preparedness routine and to foster national and international collaboration among them.
Key findings
Selection of candidates is done by country specific National Focal Points and later approval by ECDC.
Training is organized in separate blocks and follow pathogen waves. Each pathogen wave last for six months.
Training has been provided to 95 participants by organizing 12 training courses focusing on two of the eight pathogen waves, including respiratory virus (SARS-Cov-2 and Influenza) and AMR bacterial pathogens).
Currently, We are conducting workshops associated with pathogen waves 3 & 4.
GenEpi-BioTrain is an ECDC-funded training program to support capacity building in genomic epidemiology and bioinformatics. The overall objective of the training is to enable public health professionals to use and share genomic information for surveillance, preparedness, and outbreak response.
