MRIN Joins the International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN) to Strengthen Global Public Health Initiatives

We are excited to announce that the Mochtar Riady Institute for Nanotechnology (MRIN) has officially become a member of the International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN), a global network of pathogen genomic actors, brought together by the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, to accelerate progress in pathogen genomics, and improve public health decision-making. This development marks a significant milestone in MRIN’s commitment to enhancing global health through advanced pathogen genomic surveillance. “We are honoured to join the IPSN and contribute to its vision of strengthening public health surveillance systems worldwide,” said Dr. Juandy Jo, a representative from MRIN. “Our goal is to support the global community in building resilient public health infrastructures that can withstand the evolving challenges posed by infectious diseases.” The IPSN, a collaborative global network, seeks to foster equitable access to genomic sequencing and analytics, playing a crucial role in shaping the future of public health surveillance. With the addition of MRIN to its ranks, the IPSN continues its mission to amplify the impact of its members, accelerating efforts to address global health challenges, and ensuring that every country has the capacity to detect and respond to infectious threats. Together, MRIN and IPSN are shaping a healthier, more resilient world.
