Predicting viral spillover potential to prevent emerging pathogen threats
DARPA's PREEMPT program aims to advance understanding of viruses and their interaction with animals, insects, and humans, and deliver new, proactive interventions to reduce the risk from emerging and reemerging pathogens.
The project at UC Davis engages a global consortium to investigate the spillover potential of Lassa virus and to develop potential vaccine countermeasures to prevent outbreaks
