The University has joined a study to evaluate biomarkers for poverty-related diseases
Dr Antonia Ho from the Centre of Virus Research has joined an expert clinical panel on a multi-centre study evaluating the performance of potential new biomarkers to differentiate between bacterial from non-bacterial acute febrile illness in children and adults in Malawi and Brazil.
The study is run by the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND), an international non-profit organisation that aids the development and delivery of diagnostic tests for poverty-related diseases in low- and middle-income countries. Antonia’s role in this study involves classifying the aetiology of febrile cases into bacterial and non-bacterial diseases, based on clinical presentation and laboratory results.
