NCI Launches SeroNet

10/13/2020

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has launched the Serological Sciences and Network for COVID-19 referred to as SeroNet.  This program will increase the capability of diagnostic laboratories and researchers to quantify antibody response to COVID-19.  This capacity will improve knowledge of how COVID-19 infection affects immune function and will be critical in monitoring the response to vaccination programs and as an aid in understanding the epidemiology of COVID-19.

 

The funding for SeroNet amounting to $300 million was provided as part of the Health Care Enhancement Act intended for "developing, validating, improving and implementing serological testing and associated technologies".  SeroNet represents half of the Congressional allocation.
