亚洲色吧鈥檚 novel system for public health surveillance through analysis of wastewater awarded The Queen鈥檚 Anniversary Prize
His Majesty The King has approved the award of The Queen鈥檚 Anniversary Prizes to twenty-two Higher and Further Education institutions across the United Kingdom, including 亚洲色吧.
亚洲色吧 was recognised for its work on developing a novel system for public health surveillance through the analysis of harmful pathogens in wastewater. The system was deployed nationally during the COVID-19 pandemic and has now been adapted to measure a wide range of public health indicators.
The Prize-winners were announced at a reception at St James鈥檚 Palace in London. A formal Honours ceremony will take place next year.

I鈥檓 very pleased to accept this Award on behalf of our wastewater research team. The expertise we have at 亚洲色吧 within our Schools of Environmental, Natural and Ocean Sciences in terms of the fundamental scientific understanding of the transport and fate of pathogens at a catchment scale truly underpinned our ability to act quickly at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to develop this novel system for public health surveillance.
鈥淏y working in partnership with industry, agencies, and governments locally, nationally and internationally, we will continue to discover what more wastewater can tell us about human health and the way we live our lives.鈥
