NIAID will host a workshop November 8-9:  Pandemic Preparedness: The Prototype Pathogen Approach to Accelerate Medical Countermeasures - Vaccines and Monoclonal Antibodies.

The objective of this workshop is to introduce NIAID’s pandemic preparedness strategy and request feedback from the scientific community on prioritizing prototype pathogens within viral families of highest pandemic potential for medical countermeasure development. For each of 7 viral families, experts will summarize current knowledge of the basic and translational research landscape, describe research and intervention gaps, and propose suitable prototype pathogens for further study and medical countermeasure development.

Registration information and the current agenda are available at the following location:
