The Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium is a partnership of research institutes whose mission is to promote global health and safety by creating new products to diagnose, treat and significantly reduce the incidence and mortality rate of viral hemorrhagic fevers. Publication - VHFC researchers publish key findings on Lassa virus. Publication - Study verifies accuracy of rapid Ebola test. Publication - New Ebola study in Cell.

Ameyo Stella Adadevoh was the courageous doctor who identified and contained the index case of Ebola in Nigeria. Her heroic efforts prevented an outbreak in the most populous African country. This Trust was created in her honor to reflect her passion and continue her legacy of providing high-quality healthcare in Nigeria. Providing support and funding to improve and advance the Nigerian healthcare system. There are numerous ways to get involved and help positively impact the healthcare system in Nigeria.

We are using infectious disease genomics to investigate the interaction between the human host and highly pathogenic viruses such as Ebola and Lassa. Our goal is to understand how these viruses evolve in response to selection pressures imposed by the host immune system. Using a combination of computational biology, experimentation, and field work in West Africa our hope is to change the way we develop vaccines and therapeutics for these and other emerging pathogens.
