CONTACT:John Cook
DESCRIPTION:It remains an inexact science to predict what pathogen will gi
 ve rise to the next pandemic\, and when or where the spill-over to humans 
 will occur. Based on our understanding of past pandemics and the biology o
 f viral pathogens\, certain families of RNA viruses are high on the top 10
  list. However\, predicting which virus variant will emerge from these lar
 ge and diverse families of potential human pathogens to cause future pande
 mics remains a challenge unless we are able to develop vaccines that are b
 roadly protective against groups of related viruses. This talk will descri
 be a new vaccine antigen discovery technology that is being developed to a
 ddress the current COVID19 pandemic\, its variants\, and future pandemic t
 hreats that may arise from the diverse Coronavirus and Influenza virus fam
 ilies.\n\nIf you plan to attend in person\, you must book your place using
