It would be awesome if someone made an updated version of the biosecurity landscape map. Lmk if you are thinking of doing this.

I think this is cool! It shows gaps in capabilities so that people can see what needs to be worked on.

Thanks for writing this up! Have you considered condensing this into a two-page policy brief? I am sure this could also be useful as a template for other countries. Feel free to dm me.
This was super interesting. Thanks for sharing. I have more questions, will DM.

FYI rolling applications are back on for the Biosecurity Forecasting Group! We have started the pilot and are very excited about our first cohort! Don’t want to apply but have ideas for questions? Submit them here (anyone can submit!).
Great! Excited to see the results (at least for the US!).
Thanks for putting this together. I found it interesting and useful for my calibration. Will there be a follow-up of a similar design in any other countries? Or another study like this in the US but in a year etc?
Thank you both! What a great and concrete post. I enjoy seeing tractable, actionable and specific ideas. I hope there will be more posts like this!

What a great post! It’s super useful and I will send this to them if people ask me for advice. Thank you.
Thanks for writing this post! I am glad that the list of short-term projects is still useful!
This is a great overview!
It would be awesome to see a follow up post from yourself or someone else on the following:
- what are the centers currently working on AAV
- who is funding this work
- what are the gaps in research
- what are the gaps in funding
I would love to hear more thoughts on:
Future research must focus on:
Engineering novel AAV capsids to avoid immune recognition.
Developing larger-capacity variants or split-genome strategies.
Scaling up manufacturing for equitable access.
If successful, AAV vaccines could reshape pandemic preparedness, offering single-dose, durable, customizable vaccines for both global health and low-resource settings.
