Understanding how infections foster and induce non-communicable diseases
Funds one project mining research cohorts and biobanks to find causal links between infections and non-communicable diseases, aimed at new vaccines, diagnostics and early treatments.

This topic wants a systematic, multi-omics and AI-driven mining of existing cohorts and biobanks to identify causal links and biological mechanisms connecting infectious agents to non-communicable diseases such as Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease and cancer. It's aimed at generating vaccine strategies, earlier diagnostics and early-intervention therapeutics from those links, not just documenting associations.
