Collaboration for controlling infectious diseases and preventing adolescent HIV
Official title: Integrated Public Health and Academic Collaboration for Infectious Diseases Control (iPHAC-IDC): Implementation of One Health approaches to pandemic preparedness and adolescent HIV prevention
Funded at Chulalongkorn University · NIH-10917523 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is working to improve how we respond to infectious diseases in Thailand by bringing together health and academic groups to better track and manage outbreaks, while also using new technology to identify viruses and help prevent HIV in teenagers.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing public health responses to infectious diseases, particularly in Thailand. It aims to establish a collaborative network involving various health and academic institutions to improve surveillance and outbreak response capabilities. The project will utilize advanced technologies like PCR and next-generation sequencing to identify and characterize new viral strains, integrating genomic data with clinical information to create a comprehensive surveillance platform. Additionally, it seeks to implement strategies for adolescent HIV prevention as part of a broader pandemic preparedness initiative.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved control of infectious diseases and better prevention strategies for adolescent HIV, ultimately enhancing public health outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown success in similar collaborative approaches to infectious disease control and surveillance, indicating potential for impactful outcomes.
