DESCRIPTION:How do pandemics happen\, where do they come from\, and how ca
 n we prevent them if we don’t know how\, when and where? My laboratory s
 tudies some of the most notorious causes of high consequence epidemics\, R
 NA viruses. How do these large families of diverse RNA viruses gain a foot
 hold in the human population\, and go from causing outbreaks\, to epidemic
 s to pandemics? Drawing from lessons from Ebola\, Influenza and most recen
 tly Coronavirus\, our research has demonstrated that surveillance data int
 egrated with genomics of viruses with high-risk profiles can be used to ma
 ke a new generation of vaccines. This talk will address the challenges of 
 immunising the human population against unknown future threats.\n\n"Video
