Funded with a substantial €3 million grant by the European Commission under the “Horizon Europe” framework, and co-funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI), the “BreathForDiagnosis” project aims to enable early and precise detection of respiratory infections, with a special focus on tuberculosis.
Early diagnosis is crucial, especially for tuberculosis, as it significantly improves patient outcomes, reduces the spread of the disease, and alleviates the burden on healthcare systems worldwide.
