GAIN (Global Antigen Initiative Network)

The Global Antigen Initiative Network (GAIN) is a collaborative group dedicated to improving the way scientists understand and respond to infectious diseases. It focuses on sharing data, developing advanced tools, and coordinating efforts worldwide to identify and analyze pathogen antigens—parts of bacteria, viruses, or other germs that trigger immune responses. By doing so, GAIN helps accelerate vaccine development, diagnostics, and treatments, ultimately aiming to better protect global public health and respond swiftly to emerging infectious threats.
