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.
