Methods applied and established together with experts in partner countries include:

• Wastewater-based surveillance of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance
• Molecular methods for detection and diagnostics of pathogens
• Whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics for molecular surveillance
• Pathogen genetics and genomics to study infection dynamics
• Laboratory quality management and biosafety
• Strategic planning and implementation of preparedness and response activities for global health security
• Support of outbreak response in affected countries through networks such as the German Epidemic Preparedness Team (SEEG) or the Global Outbreak and Response Network (GOARN)
