Samir Bhatt, Professor at the Department of Public Health, is joining the establishment of a new center aimed at developing an AI-powered platform to enhance global pandemic preparedness.
The Global Pathogen Analysis Platform (GPAP) will improve international surveillance of infectious diseases.
It is a privilege to be involved in developing this initiative. Our proposed platform represents a major step toward stronger global pandemic preparedness in a time where this is needed more than ever.
Based at DTU and developed in collaboration with researchers from the University of Copenhagen, Statens Serum Institut, and Imperial College London—with support from the Novo Nordisk Foundation—the platform will provide free access to advanced AI tools for pathogen analysis. The goal is to close gaps in global preparedness and enable faster detection and response to future outbreaks.
At the University of Copenhagen, the funding will, among other things, be used to develop new AI methods for analyzing metagenomics
