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”

Our partners in Pakistan: a cohort focused on immunocompromised patients
COVID-19 screening at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Science By collecting and analysing data from a variety of well-established cohorts across the world, END-VOC hopes to rapidly identify and characterize emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. In this interview, our partners in Pakistan (the DOPASI Foundation) explain the work they have been doing on COVID-19 and why their cohort is quite unique. Can you briefly explain who you are [...]
ENDVOC Scientific Symposium, June 6, 2023 (online)
Scientific Symposium: “COVID-19 variants and the next pandemic” What have we learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and where do we go from here? How do we anticipate the next pandemic? In the context of its first annual meeting, ENDVOC is organising a Scientific Symposium on June 6, 2023 (13h30 to 20h CEST) and inviting the scientific and broader community to connect online.

Long COVID: 3 challenges and a way forward
This post was written by two ENDVOC team members: Robert Aldridge, Professor of Public Health & Data Science at UCL, and his colleague Sarah Beale. Robert Aldridge leads ENDVOC's WP7, which focuses on the impact of viral variants on long COVID. He co-led the Virus Watch study, in which Sarah Beale also participated. We have made huge strides in understanding, preventing, and treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) since [...]
