The ToK Fellowship envisages a knowledge-acquisition phase where staff of the host organization will be trained at two partner organizations in diagnosis techniques, molecular typing and immunology for assessment of fish responses to pathogens and parasites. After this phase, the ToK Fellowship will develop a research programme at the host organization, where the knowledge acquired at the partner organizations will be adapted to Mediterranean finfish species.
To consolidate new research avenues at the University of Valencia in two key aspects: (1) Diagnosis and typing techniques of pathogens, particularly for fish viruses; (2) Techniques to evaluate the immune response to pathogens of finfish species of interests for Mediterranean aquaculture.
