Digital Technologies for Epidemic Intelligence – 22 April 2025
How do risks change during an emerging infectious disease threat? Traditional surveillance methods have inherent limitations when applied to complex or rapidly evolving outbreak situations. Newer digital technologies and event-based surveillance can provide early alerts, uncover blind spots and novel ways to integrate data.
In the webinar, Dr Oliver Morgan, Director of the WHO Hub in Berlin, discussed the potential applications and limitations of emerging digital technologies in strengthening multidisciplinary strategies for epidemic prevention, prediction, and preparedness.
How to Avoid Human-Made Pandemics - 23 Jan 2025
Studying viruses with outbreak potential is one productive approach to combat the risk of pandemics. Yet, such research – when it involves field collection and experimental manipulation of pathogens – carries the hazard of accidentally or even intentionally seeding a pandemic. Dr Filippa Lentzos from King’s College London, will discussed her findings from the Pathogen Project, which brought together an international taskforce of scientists, biosecurity and public health experts, ethicists, and civil society leaders to seek consensus on this question: Can we agree on ways to manage research that carries pandemic risk as safely, securely and responsibly as possible?
