Next-generation health security leaders who will be making decisions about biological threats and pandemic risks must be globally networked and highly capable of envisioning, preparing for, and preventing worst-case biological scenarios. They must be immediately ready and effective at recognizing, preventing, and mitigating large-scale biological crises—looking beyond surface-level threats and leveraging key strategies to stay ahead of the risks.

The Biosecurity Game Changers Initiative, led by the Pandemic Center, is dedicated to shaping these future leaders in biosecurity and biosafety. This ongoing initiative includes three key components:

• Biosecurity Game Changers Fellowship – A deep-dive program for emerging leaders.

• Pandemic Game Changers Course – A training course focused on critical skills.

• Next Generation Workshops – Hands-on sessions for building expertise and networks.

Together, these efforts cultivate the skills, knowledge, and global connections needed to drive real change in biosecurity.
