The Stellenbosch University (SU) Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation (CERI) received international acclaim when its work on identifying and tracking Covid-19 variants was listed as one of the ten technological breakthroughs of 2022 by the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Technological Review, the university says. CERI, which will be officially launched later this year, has been at the forefront of pathogen genomics surveillance to enhance biomedical discovery and to respond effectively to epidemics.
