Redwood AI Corp. (CSE: AIRX) (OTCQB: RDWCF) (Frankfurt: Y0N, WKN: A422EZ) has announced the signing of a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) with Dr. Placide Sesonga of the University of Global Health Equity in Rwanda to explore the development of a regional pathogen tracking and AI-enabled outbreak intelligence initiative across Central and East Africa. The proposed collaboration would focus initially on surveillance regions and mobility corridors in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, combining pathogen monitoring, genomic sequencing, geospatial analytics and Redwood's AI-driven predictive intelligence platform to support earlier detection of emerging infectious disease threats.
The parties plan to develop project protocols, deployment frameworks and stakeholder engagement strategies while pursuing potential funding opportunities. This initiative comes at a critical time when global health security remains a top priority, and the integration of artificial intelligence with traditional surveillance methods could significantly improve outbreak prediction and response. The LOI marks a strategic step for Redwood AI in expanding its AI capabilities beyond chemistry R&D into public health applications.
Separately, Redwood announced the resignation of Graydon Bensler from its board of directors, effective immediately. The company did not provide further details regarding the resignation. For more information on the press release, visit https://ibn.fm/4ra9u.
