SAVE THE DATE - Scientific strategies from recent outbreaks to help us prepare for Pathogen X [1]
[]
Date: 2022-08-29
Date: Monday 29 August, 2022 & Tuesday 30 August, 2022
Time: 13:00 to 18:00 CET
Hybrid Meeting: In-person & Online
The WHO R&D Blueprint is organizing a consultation to apply scientific lessons learned during the SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic and other recent outbreak to address the research needs for unknown agents capable of future pandemics – Pathogen X.
Main discussion points include the following, with reference to research and development leading to safe and effective vaccines and therapeutics:
Review of previous pandemics with an emphasis on COVID-19
What relevant scientific information did we have before the pandemic?
What scientific strategies were successful?
What scientific strategies could be improved? What will the next pandemic look like?
What research will facilitate identification of the next pandemic?
What needs to be done to prepare for possible pathogens, including unexpected or re-emerging pathogens (e.g., AMR)? What can be done in advance of the next pandemic?
What are the scientific and research gaps? And how can they be met?
How can scientific and research findings facilitate vaccine and therapeutic development?
How can other approaches, such as TPPs and regulatory convergence, facilitate response to a future pandemic?
If you or your research group are conducting research on any of the topics above, please contact us ([email protected]).
