The Pandemic Sciences Institute has signed a memorandum of understanding with Institut Pasteur de Dakar (IPD) to become a partner institution.
As a member of the Pasteur Network, IPD is a 100-year-old Senegalese institution dedicated to accelerating equitable access to healthcare. IPD is a leading public health and research institution actively engaged in pandemic preparedness, outbreak surveillance and response, and vaccine and diagnostics manufacturing. Through its Centre for Africa's Resilience to Epidemics (CARE) program and its laboratories, IPD supports African countries in building resilient capacities for early detection and rapid response to health threats.
The new three-year partnership aims to advance public health and life science collaboration in West Africa by leveraging the complementary strengths of PSI and IPD.
