Launched in early 2022, CoVICIS represents a global approach to combatting the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, coupling powerful state-of-the-art virologic and immunologic platforms with large genomic surveillance studies and diverse cohorts in Europe and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Professor Puhan joins us to discuss the three prospective cohort studies, including children, adolescents, and adults, based at EBPI that are contributing to the CoVICIS project.

Professor Giuseppe Pantaleo spoke with Vittoria D’Alessio from Horizon Magazine to discuss the ongoing work of researchers to monitor populations for new variants of concern. The article features a profile of CoVICIS and the EU-funding COVIRNA project which is devising a test to predict who is most likely to develop cardiovascular complications.

Prof Williamson joins us to discuss the impressive surveillance work being conducted in South Africa and some of the insights into future work to investigate the role of the HIV epidemic in the emergence of variants of concern.
