The Pandemic Center

The Pandemic Center

Informing Action. Training Leaders. Increasing Resilience.

We are in an age of pandemic threats.

COVID-19, the most consequential pandemic in a century, is not our last. The Pandemic Center is working to prevent, reduce vulnerabilities and increase resilience to pandemics, other biological emergencies, and the harms they pose to health, peace, security, and prosperity. 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.

A New Fellowship to Advance Global Biothreat Reduction

Reducing biological threats requires the empowerment of the next generation of biosecurity leaders. Our incoming cohort of Fellows have officially been placed across leading partner organizations. Backed by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation, this initiative strengthens biosecurity expertise where it's needed most.
