India-EU Partnership Launches Dengue Combat Initiative
Dengue fever is a disease that affects millions, especially in India.
Scientists from India and Europe are working together on a project called COMBAT dengue to fight it.
They will study how the disease works and try to find better ways to treat it.
The project will use new technologies like tiny lab-grown brains and AI to understand the virus better.
The goal is to save lives, protect people's brains from damage, and get ready for future outbreaks.
They are collecting samples from hospitals in India to help with this research.
The project is a collaboration between different fields of science, showing the EU-India plan to put science at the center of innovation.
An India-EU partnership called COMBAT dengue is launching to tackle the spread of dengue fever.
The project aims to uncover mechanisms of severe dengue, reduce the disease burden, and strengthen preparedness for future outbreaks.
The Karolinska Institute in Stockholm coordinates the research initiative.
Clinical samples will be collected from hospitals in India to generate scientific insights.
The project employs advanced technologies, including brain organoids and AI, for research.
