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.
Will DM :)
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! Donāt 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!
I ranked the more neglected charities higher as they will benefit from funding more than others
Glad to hear this!
What a great post! Itās super useful and I will send this to them if people ask me for advice. Thank you.
Wasnāt aware of this list! Cool
Hi!
We will update our website soon. We have two small scale projects that we are running in collaboration with the Oxford Biosecurity Group. You can check out projects #2 and #3 here.
Let me know if this helps.
Hi! @Tessa might have time to write up the alternative model. I donāt want to put pressure on them to do so. However, the only thing I can share is:
Hear about it
Learning to decide whether youāre interested
Starting to generate your own ideas/āopinions
Starting to contribute
Making contributions in a more defined area
I appreciate your feedback! Glad you found it helpful.
Wonderful to hear that!
Hi! I am the āthirdā co-founder in this scenario. Happy to DM about why this particular choice was made and why it made sense for this team.
This is a great report! Adding it to my to-do list! If I have more questions how would you prefer me to contact you? Feel free to reply with a DM.
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.
