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.
