My project is about Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) which has become a major threat to humans in over 30 countries. I will be working on technology able to tell the difference between the virus that causes CCHF and other closely related viruses. If successful, this project would bring global science one step closer to understanding CCHF severity and distribution across the globe.
