While COVID-19 is the current biological threat we face, it will not be the last and is likely to not be the worst, and man-made disease threats are also becoming increasingly likely due to advances in technology. Innovative science and technology solutions exist or are in development that could change the game for biodefense. At this meeting, the Commission addressed these emerging biological threats and innovative science and technology solutions to address them.
