EMRP project Metrology for monitoring infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and harmful micro-organisms (HLT08 INFECT-MET) will develop high accuracy methods for the detection of infectious agents. It will also evaluate new and emerging molecular approaches for the surveillance and monitoring of infectious disease load and detection of antimicrobial resistance mutations.
HLT08 JRP-Partners will be presenting work from the JRP at the conference. This conference will showcase new developments in qPCR technology, concentrating on improvements to qPCR design, the acquisition of accurate data, and efficient data analysis. Focus will also be given to the use of dPCR in the clinic, covering applications such as infectious disease diagnostics and cancer detection.
