Penn State University is developing a Science and Technology Center for Fast Virus Detection, Surveillance and Response (VIDARE). To attract funding to support the center, Pixelab Studios produced a story-driven promotional video that describes how PSU interdisciplinary institutes and other university partners plan to work together to establish a convergent model for the One Health surveillance system. VIDARE combines routine monitoring of infectious diseases in humans, animals, vectors and the environment with novel technologies for virus enrichment and detection. The video showcases the capabilities (technology and expertise), collaboration and potential impact of this Science and Technology Center with interviews of key stakeholders leading the project.
