About us

We are a consortium of researchers who want to bring faster poliovirus detection and sequencing to national public health laboratories worldwide. We are supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and work closely with the Global Polio Laboratory Network and Global Polio Eradication Initiative.

If you would like to get in touch, have a question or want to join the community please visit our workspace at protocols.io.
