 Prof. Pardis Sabeti partnered with Christian Happi, Professor and Director of the African Center of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases at Redeemer's University in Nigeria, to develop, [Sentinel](https://audaciousproject.org/ideas/covid-19-response/acegid-%20-broad-institute), an early warning system that detects and tracks viral threats in real time.

 Sabeti and Happi plan to combine rapid CRISPR-based test results in different regions and countries with data-sharing technology to track outbreaks and share information to preempt a pandemic. The project received funding the [Audacious Project](https://www.ted.com/talks/pardis_sabeti_and_christian_happi_a_virus_detection_network_to_stop_the_next_pandemic), TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change. *[Harvard Gazette](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/05/pardis-sabetis-work-on-infectious-disease-coronavirus/?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Gazette%2020200514%20(1))*
