WE CAN PREVENT
THE NEXT COVID-19
Envision a world where we stop pandemics before they start
The Why
COVID-19 has devastated our global community. The worst part? It’s likely to happen again – soon.

It is only a matter of time before we experience another COVID-19.
But we can stop this from happening – if we understand the root causes of most emerging infectious diseases and invest in preventing pandemics at the source.
Our work aims to save lives by preventing the spillover of zoonotic viruses from animals to humans - well before they can become global pandemics, regional / national epidemics, or even localized outbreaks.
