On Tuesday, September 20 from 9:00am–10:30am ET, the Council on Strategic Risks (CSR) will host a webinar entitled “Building Capacities for Addressing Future Biological Threats.”
You can register to attend here.
In this webinar, experts will discuss the changing biological threat landscape and some key avenues to improve preparedness and response capabilities for addressing future biological threats.
The webinar will begin with a keynote address from Dr. David Christian Hassell. As Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Dr. Hassell will share his expertise and vision on how the United States may continue to build on successes and opportunities to address future biological threats.
A panel discussion will follow Dr. Hassell’s address. CSR is thrilled to host two exceptional panelists who are at the forefront of efforts to address biological threats:
- Dr. Pardis Sabeti, Professor at the Center for Systems Biology at Harvard University, who will share her ongoing work in biosurveillance and pathogen early warning
- Dr. Akhila Kosaraju, CEO and President of Phare Bio, who will discuss the role of the private-sector in developing medical countermeasures and other technologies for reducing biological threats
We look forward to a fascinating conversation with these experts.
This webinar is open to the public, and will include a Q&A session for our experts to answer the audience’s questions. It will be recorded and posted on CSR’s YouTube channel.
