Keeping tabs on SARS-CoV-2
In the ENDVOC project we will study
variants of concern across the world
Supporting the global response to COVID-19 and future pandemics
We will evaluate the impact of different variants in
diagnostics, treatment, and public health strategies
By investigating the circulation and impact of current and emerging
SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC), we aim to evaluate and
support effective pandemic responses. To do so, we will use data from
well-established patient and population cohorts across the world.
” Detecting emerging Covid-19 variants of concern, and understanding their
implications on diagnostics, vaccination strategies and treatment options
is key to guiding our response to the virus”
Ibrahim Abubakar, principal researcher of the project based at UCL

END-VOC Researchers Uncover New Coronaviruses in United Kingdom Bats
Rhinolophus hipposidero, one of the bat species analysed. (Author: Matthieu Gauvain) Where will the next pandemic virus come from? That is the million-dollar question. Scientists are looking closely at bats in Southeast Asia, which are known to host a wide array of viruses, including coronaviruses closely related to SARS-CoV-2. But a recent study, in which END-VOC researchers were involved, shows that bats in the United [...]
END-VOC Holds its Third General Assembly in Barcelona
A scientific symposium organised the day before by the consortium discussed the evolution of COVID-19 variants and how to anticipate the next pandemic Sun and sea were the background for the third General Assembly of the END-VOC Consortium, held on 7 and 8 June and hosted by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal). For many of the more than 50 consortium members who travelled [...]
