Rapid COVID-19 Vaccine Development: An Example of the Prototype Pathogen Approach for Pandemic Preparedness
NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
The prototype pathogen approach for pandemic preparedness has been applied to the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS CoV) over the last seven years. It was informed by structure-based immunogen-design concepts established for respiratory syncytial virus fusion (RSV F) subunit vacc ines, and focused on solving coronavirus spike structures, defining mechanisms of CoV neutralization, and evaluating MERS CoV vaccine candidates in collaboration with a commercial mRNA manufacturer. Prior spike protein engineering experience resulted in rapid sequence selection and using the mRNA m...

The Biomedical Research Response to COVID-19: A View from NIAID
NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
NIAID has a long-standing dual mandate to maintain a robust portfolio of research in its key focus areas and to respond to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). With this mandate, NIAID has also sought to improve EID-response preparedness, working in partnership with other U.S. government research entities, industry, academia, and international public-health organizations. This preparedness planning helped the institute respond rapidly to COVID-19. NIAID tapped existing coronavirus expertise and other assets to stand up research programs spanning basic virology and immunology ...

CANCELLED - Demystifying Medicine - 1) The Challenge of Pandemic Preparedness 2) Current Status of Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases
Demystifying Medicine Lecture Series
Ebola, swine flu, drug-resistant tuberculosis, diarrheal diseases, and just about anything carried by mosquitoes … These are but a few of the infectious diseases that keep Drs. Fauci and Glass awake at night. Oh, and ticks, too. Threats are everywhere.
Every day, it seems, brings outbreaks and the potential for a pandemic. And yet, remarkably, scientists and healthcare providers on the frontlines manage to keep billions of people relatively safe. This Demystifying Medicine lecture by two of the biggest names in global health will provide a broad perspective on the myriad infectious d...

The Mother (of all Pandemics) and Her Naughty Children: 100 Years of Behaving Badly
Writing in his diary on September 27, 1918, Charles Corning, former mayor of Concord, New Hampshire, described how flu was blazing through his corner of the world “ as fire shrivels the fields, laying out communities and taking a toll of death unprecedented. ” The next day, he observed, “ A heavy sense of anxiety and apprehension like a dismal cloud in midsummer weighs heavily upon us because of the deadly ravages of the so-called Spanish influenza. Funerals jostle one another so the sable procession goes on. ” That sable procession would eventually claim 167 lives in Concord and at least 50 million more around the...
