The Pandemic Center

Informing Action. Training Leaders. Preventing Catastrophe.

We are in an age of pandemic threats.

COVID-19, the most consequential pandemic in a century, is not our last. The Pandemic Center at the Brown University School of Public Health works to ensure that the world better understands these catastrophic threats, their far-reaching casualties, and develops the tools, policies, and practices to mitigate and prevent their impact. The Pandemic Center is an independent and credible voice for positive disruption.

This Pandemic Center is uniquely positioned to work across disciplines and sectors to generate and analyze evidence, educate a new generation of leaders, and ensure this work is translated to effective policy and practice around the globe.

This Pandemic Center is working to stop pandemics, other biological emergencies, and the harms they pose to health, peace, security, and prosperity.

Evidence to Drive Decision-Making

We are responding to the need to generate, synthesize and translate evidence to better define the most effective policies, practices, and resources to prepare for future infectious disease emergencies and confront the current crisis.

Preventing Pandemic Harms Across Society

Addressing these challenges demands inter-disciplinary approaches that bring together scholars and policy-makers from across multiple disciplines.

Creating and Impacting Leaders

The Center is dedicated to cross-training a new generation of diverse pandemic leaders and equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need to make change in the world.

Maximum Impact to Prevent, Detect, and Change Pandemic Outcomes

Engaging with governments, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations and media across the globe, the Pandemic Center works to advance evidence-based policies and practices to save lives, improve quality of life and equity and avert existential biological risks.

Pandemic-Proofing the Future
