The risks of new pandemic threats are compounding. Zoonotic spillover and uncontained outbreaks are well-known risks that are not yet well enough addressed. Today, focus must also turn to biosecurity and biosafety risks. Beyond naturally occurring infectious disease threats, the risks of a manmade pandemic — by accident or by design — must be mitigated.
Pandemic Action Network (PAN) and The Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response will convene a public event, Biosecurity: A Priority in the Era of Pandemics and AI, on the sidelines of WHA78 to discuss opportunities and risks in our evolving global health, technological, and geopolitical landscape, and offer concrete next steps to prioritise biosecurity and biosafety efforts needed to keep the world safe and secure.
Speakers include:
The Right Honourable Helen Clark, former PM of New Zealand, Member of The Elders and Co-Chair Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness & Response
Priya Basu, Executive Head, Pandemic Fund
Daniel Feakes, Chief of the Implementation Support Unit, Biological Weapons Convention
Richard Hatchett, CEO, Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI)
Raj Panjabi, Senior Partner, Preemptive Health and Medicine Initiative, Flagship Pioneering
Eloise Todd, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Pandemic Action Network
When: Wednesday 21 May, 2025 | 07.00-09.00 CET
Where: Hôtel Royal Genève (Rue de Lausanne 41, 1201 Genève)
