The VERDI consortium consists of 28 centers of excellence in Europe, the USA, Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. It is coordinated by the University of Padua and Penta Foundation (Italy), with scientific coordination shared between University of Padua and University College London (UCL).<\/p>\n<p>The Consortium works closely together with other COVID and mpox research projects and consortia to ensure complementarity to and alignment with ongoing research efforts and infrastructures at EU level and beyond. European University Cyprus is represented by a team of faculty led by Dr. Zoi Dorothea Pana, Assistant Professor in Pediatrics, Hospital Epidemiology, Infection Control and Antimicrobial Stewardship.<\/p>\n<p>Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/verdiproject.org\/the-project\/\">https:\/\/verdiproject.org\/the-project\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42674 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/euc.ac.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/medicine-photo-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/euc.ac.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/medicine-photo-1.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/euc.ac.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/medicine-photo-1-980x735.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/euc.ac.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/medicine-photo-1-480x360.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u00a0School of Medicine of European University Cyprus has joined the VERDI project, a \u201cHorizon Europe\u201d project that prioritises vulnerable population pregnant women, children and other high-risk populations in research on new SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, while also focusing on the emergency preparedness for future infections, epidemics and outbreaks, building on experiences with COVID-19 and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":42674,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"coauthors":[375,377],"class_list":["post-42671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
