How do we move from tracking disease emergence to predicting the next epidemic?

This talk brings together experts in pathogen genomics, virology, ecology, climate science, and data science to explore how AI, genomic surveillance, and new environmental data streams can enhance predictive models of emerging infectious diseases —bridging the gap between spillover events and epidemic forecasting.

Panel:

Professor Jessica Metcalf (Chair), Visiting Fellow, Oxford Martin Programme on Pandemic Genomics
Professor Daniel Streicker, Professor of Viral Ecology, University of Glasgow
Dr Aine O’Toole, Postdoctoral Research Associate, University of Edinburgh
Dr Tom Peacock, Fellow, Pirbright Institute
Dr Houriyah Tegally, Head of Data Science, Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation (CERI), Stellenbosch University

This is a joint event with the Oxford Martin Programme on Pandemic Genomics.
