Max Healthcare Institute Ltd has officially joined an international research consortium under the Indo-EU COMBAT initiative. This dengue research initiative aims to strengthen global preparedness for mosquito-borne diseases. Supported by the Department of Biotechnology and the European Commission, the project brings together elite institutions from India and Europe. Consequently, they aim to develop technology-driven approaches for understanding, diagnosing, and managing dengue.
The consortium secured a major research grant to study disease progression. Specifically, researchers will focus on identifying early warning markers to improve patient outcomes. Representing Max Healthcare are principal investigators Sandeep Budhiraja and Atul Thatai. Furthermore, Ujjwal Neogi from the Karolinska Institute facilitated this collaboration. The BRIC National Institute of Biomedical Genomics leads the Indian effort. Because dengue remains a significant health concern, this project integrates multi-omics technologies and artificial intelligence. This combination helps researchers identify predictive biomarkers for earlier diagnosis.
Dengue continues to pose a major public health challenge in tropical regions. Therefore, partnerships that combine clinical expertise with advanced research are essential. Dr. Budhiraja noted that these collaborations strengthen early diagnosis and improve patient response strategies. Similarly, Dr. Neogi highlighted the importance of data-driven solutions. Moreover, these innovations help build stronger surveillance and treatment frameworks. As a result, the initiative advances global pandemic preparedness through cross-border scientific cooperation.
Q1: What is the primary goal of the Indo-EU COMBAT initiative?
The primary goal is to strengthen dengue research and improve global preparedness for mosquito-borne diseases through collaborative research and technology-driven approaches.
Q2: How will multi-omics and AI be used in this research?
The program will combine multi-omics technologies, clinical data, and artificial intelligence to better understand how dengue progresses and identify predictive biomarkers for earlier clinical interventions.

An 11-year Swedish registry study of 618 uterine sarcoma patients found that minimally invasive surgery yielded survival comparable to open surgery in early stages. However, adjuvant chemotherapy conferred no survival benefit in localized or advanced disease, highlighting stage and histology as key outcomes.
