University of Pretoria — Far-UVC Study

Table of Contents

Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $754,525 over two years to the University of Pretoria to support a study on how much far-UVC light is needed to stop the transmission of tuberculosis from human patients to susceptible guinea pigs. If successful, far-UVC light could become a highly effective tool for reducing disease transmission in many settings.

This falls within our focus area of biosecurity and pandemic preparedness.
