We are proud to share that a delegation from Institute for Developing Science and Health Initiatives (ideSHi) participated in the 14th GABRIEL Network International Meeting, held from 3–5 June 2026 in Antananarivo, Madagascar. Co-organized by the Mérieux Foundation and the Charles Mérieux Center for Infectious Diseases, the conference brought together more than 80 researchers and public health professionals from over 16 countries to share research findings, strengthen collaborations, and develop future projects addressing global infectious disease challenges. Our team actively contributed to critical global health dialogues with major presentations: · Dr. Md Rofiqur Rahman (COO, ideSHi) delivered two insightful presentations. In the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) session, he discussed the "One Health Approach," focusing on transmission routes within human households and pets in Bangladesh. In the Respiratory Infections session, he highlighted epidemiological insights and respiratory microbiome diversity in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. · Md Ridwan (Research Officer, ideSHi) presented during the prestigious “Young Scientists Award” session, sharing vital genomic and phylogenetic insights regarding the 2023–2024 Dengue outbreak in Bangladesh. · Dr. Umme Kulsum (Assistant Scientist, ideSHi) joined the delegation, engaging with international peers to develop future collaborative network projects. We are proud to contribute Bangladesh’s research and perspectives to global scientific discussions and look forward to strengthening international collaborations for improved public health outcomes. Congratulations to our team for their impactful representation! #ideSHi #GABRIELNetwork #GlobalHealth #Dengue #AMR #OneHealth #RespiratoryResearch #Bangladesh #Research #PublicHealth
