ANTICIPATING THE OUTBREAK.
Emerging viruses. Antimicrobial resistance. Infection prevention. Phage therapy. The next outbreak may be unpredictable — but preparation cannot be.
MEET THE PANEL ↓THE THREAT CHANGES. SO MUST WE.
Infectious diseases do not respect borders.
New pathogens emerge. Familiar organisms develop resistance. Outbreaks move faster than ever through an increasingly interconnected world.
Anticipating the Outbreak brings together experts working across emerging viruses, infection prevention, antimicrobial resistance and alternative therapies.
