In the aftermath of the pandemic, scientists are looking at how SARS-CoV-2 arose and how humanity responded to the virus to better prepare for the next potential pandemic.
In this symposium brought to you by The Scientist’s Creative Services Team, researchers will highlight the conditions that make a pathogen more likely to cause a pandemic, what precautions can be taken from scientific, diagnostic, and therapeutic perspectives, and the role of public health in pandemic preparedness.
