\nA Paralysis M
ystery solved
Children with sudden\, unexplained paralysis. Behind it
\, a common respiratory virus. The story of how the EV-D68 and EV-A71 outb
reaks were pieced together\, and why clinical observation deserves a seat
at the surveillance table.
From Clinic to Outbreak Response
T
his talk follows how multimodal enterovirus surveillance combining clinica
l\, epidemiological and genomic data was translated into preparedness. It
provides a working model for any emerging pathogen where the first evidenc
e appears in a clinic long before it appears in a surveillance dataset.
This two-day course will provide you with the essential knowl edge and skills to enhance the management of the research data in your PhD project\, with a specific focus on storing and organizing your research d ata.
