Biosecurity Game Changers Initiative

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.

Working with young leaders in this space is one of the most meaningful and rewarding things we can do, as they will shape our futures. Using the best expertise, tools, technology and systems we have developed over the course of many epidemics and one pandemic in recent times, tomorrow’s leaders have a special opportunity to head off future disasters by making better decisions.

Biosecurity Game Changers Fellowship

This is a fellowship for early-to-mid career professionals. We took on our first cohort of fellows this last summer. During the year, fellows will collaborate on an operational project with either the Pandemic Center or one of the partner organizations focused on a specific aspect of improving biosecurity, biosafety and/or pandemic preparedness and response. Each fellow will also receive a Brown faculty appointment for the duration of their fellowship.
