Emerging infections

Asia has long been the source of infectious diseases that have escalated into epidemics or pandemics, notably SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. As new pandemic threats continue to arise, research at MORU focuses on genomic and immunological surveillance of emerging infections, the development and evaluation of new methods of assessing therapeutics, and their large-scale assessment in order to inform policies and practices.
