LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, USA, February 10, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GIDEON Informatics partnered with Jisc, the UK’s digital body for education and research, for an exciting one-year pilot agreement. Jisc members get an exclusive discount to access the popular GIDEON comprehensive infectious diseases database as part of the subscription offer.

The GIDEON database is a powerhouse of information on:

Now, UK academics and educators get in-depth epidemiology data at the click of a button.” She added, “In the past few years, UK’s academic bodies have had to adopt fully-online or hybrid learning models rapidly. Educators and students urgently need advanced digital resources to learn about, and fight against, infectious disease outbreaks.”
