Integrated understanding of health
Waste water treatment systems play a critical role in the removal of human-derived pathogens. Changes in population demographics and climate are posing challenges to waste water treatment systems due to increased pollution, increased temperature and rainfall dynamics, and the presence of communicable diseases.
Cohort 1 Bio-Boost projects will:
adopt integrated approaches to (eco)epidemiology
BIO-BOOST will develop novel technologies and biosensors to detect and quantify the presence of pathogens of concern (bacterial, viruses, harmful algal blooms) in wastewaters to protect public health.
Improve the safety of river, bathing and drinking waters by understanding the transmission and persistence of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in WWT, together with strategies to enhance their removal, will also be evaluated
Cohort 1 will begin in September 2026.
