The University of Valencia, CSIC and FISABIO are promoting a project of genomic epidemiology of the new coronavirus

The project is led by Fernando González, Professor of Genetics at the University of Valencia and a researcher at the Institute of Integrative Systems Biology and FISABIO, and Iñaki Comas (Institute of Biomedicine of Valencia). It will involve more than 40 clinical microbiology units from hospitals throughout Spain and sequencing centres. The Global Health platform of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), co-financed by the MAPFRE Foundation, has selected the project, along with 11 others, as part of initiatives to address the Covid-19 pandemic.
