PDC’s diagnostics workshop, to be held May 2-4 at Fondation Mérieux’s Les Pensières center in Annecy, will look at the current status of Zika and dengue diagnostics.
New technologies are needed to address urgent research needs and also to support longer term public health strategies to control outbreaks in the field.

The workshop will bring together scientists and experts from academia, public health, biotechnology companies and industry to review the new technologies and approaches that might be available in the near, intermediate and long-term future and determine what needs to be done to make these new diagnostics available.
