We’re partnering with the Rwanda Biomedical Centre on a pathogen monitoring program at Rwanda’s Kigali International Airport (KGL) to identify new and emerging viral variants.

Together, we'll collaborate to establish KGL as a new node in a global network of pathogen monitoring infrastructure. We’ll sample aircraft wastewater and collect nasal swabs from travelers on a voluntary, anonymous basis.

Our aim is to provide critical early warning public health insights to help inform strategies in Rwanda and beyond. Check out our new blog for more on how near-real-time insights can support a robust early warning system. https://www.ginkgobioworks.com/2023/02/15/pathogen-monitoring-at-kigali-international-airport/
