SUMMARY:Future Opportunities: Levers and Systems for Public-Private Partnerships to Distribute\, Dispense\, and Administer Medical Countermeasures
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies will host a workshop on “Future Opportunities: Levers and Systems for Public-Private Partnerships to Distribute\, Dispense\, and Administer Medical Countermeasures” on 2 November 2023.\n \nLessons learned from past health emergencies highlight the importance of public-private partnerships to facilitate and accelerate the research\, development\, and manufacturing of vaccines\, therapeutics\, and diagnostics (i.e.\, medical countermeasures). However\, less attention was given to public-private partnerships that enabled the successful implementation (distribution\, dispensing\, monitoring\, uptake\, and utilization) of medical countermeasures (MCMs)\, also known as the “last-mile.” \nThis is part of the Medical Countermeasures- Expanding Delivery and Increasing Uptake Through Public-Private Partnerships workshop series hosted by the National Academies Forum on Medical and Public Health Preparedness for Disasters and Emergencies. The series aims to examine lessons learned and future opportunities for public-private partnerships to facilitate the implementation of medical countermeasures to the public during a public health emergency. Speakers throughout the series will highlight various public-private partnership models deployed during recent health emergencies and discuss potential paths forward for public-private partnerships to facilitate successful implementation of medical countermeasures. \nVisit NASEM’s Medical Countermeasures- Expanding Delivery and Increasing Uptake Through Public-Private Partnerships workshop website to register.

SUMMARY:Charting a Responsible Future in AI & Biosecurity: Understanding Technology Capabilities
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies will host a webinar on November 6 on Charting a Responsible Future in AI & Biosecurity. \nOrganized by the Health and Medicine Division’s Forum on Microbial Threats and the Division of Earth and Life Studies’ Board on Life Sciences\, this is the first of two sessions bringing together technology developers\, researchers\, and policymakers working at the intersection of foundation model-based artificial intelligence (AI) and biological research to explore the impact of these technologies on innovation\, potential biosecurity risks\, and promising solutions. \nThe first session on November 6 will examine the technological capabilities and bridge the needs for risk management between developers and policymakers. \nHighlighted agenda items and strategic questions include: \n\nOverall framing: how close are we to achieving a full understanding of the genotype-to-phenotype relationship?\nBeneficial application of machine learning to develop tools that mitigate biosecurity risks\nand potential dual-use applications\nApplication of foundation models to protein design and implications for biosecurity\nDraft framework on control points and addressing risks through each mechanism\nConsidering the real vs projected risks landscape in life sciences research\, and practical approaches to address each\nThe true risks for misuse present day and in the future: What are the risks for intentional misuse? For accidental misuse?\nHow do these new technologies lower the threshold for expertise in carrying out potential attacks?\nWhat are the necessary data points to inform the development of policy frameworks that balance the innovation and risk considerations?\n\nThe second session on November 15 will focus on governance of these emerging technologies\, including challenges in defining regulatory policies as well as approaches to safeguard against these risks. \n\nMeeting Materials\n\n\n\n AI and Biosecurity Webinar_Background Material \nAI and Biosecurity Webinar_Virtual Attendance Best Practices \n\nPlease visit the National Academies’ AI & Biosecurity Webinar Registration (Forum Microbial Threats) website to register for either session.

SUMMARY:Charting a Responsible Future in AI & Biosecurity: Enabling Safe Innovation and Governance
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies’ Health and Medicine Division’s Forum on Microbial Threats and the Division of Earth and Life Studies’ Board on Life Sciences will host a webinar on November 15 on Charting a Responsible Future in AI & Biosecurity. \nThis is the second of two sessions bringing together technology developers\, researchers\, and policymakers working at the intersection of foundation model-based artificial intelligence (AI) and biological research to explore the impact of these technologies on innovation\, potential biosecurity risks\, and promising solutions. \nHighlighted agenda items and strategic questions include: \n\nWhat are the risk concerns and challenges from the legal perspective?\nLayered approach to considering policy options\, connecting to benchmarks (e.g.\, functional characterizations of biological applications and tools for their capabilities)\, and building in evaluations to define the characteristics of the tools\nLeveraging foundation models for pandemic preparedness\, rapid development of countermeasures against emerging threats\nWhat still needs to be defined to enable further discussions on regulation?\nWhat are approaches that can be taken to think about regulation and safety?\n\nThe first session on November 6 examined the technological capabilities and bridging the need for risk management between developers and policymakers. \nPlease visit the National Academies’ AI & Biosecurity Webinar Registration (Forum Microbial Threats) website to register. \n\nMeeting Materials\n\n\n\n AI and Biosecurity Webinar_Background Material \nAI and Biosecurity Webinar_Virtual Attendance Best Practices

SUMMARY:Bolivian and Argentinian Hemorrhagic Fevers
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Emerging Special Pathogens Training and Education Center (NETEC) for a webinar on Argentinian hemorrhagic fever (AHF) and Bolivian hemorrhagic fever (BHF) on November 28. \nAHF and BHF are zoonotic diseases with the potential for human-to-human transmission. During this webinar\, guest presenters will describe the epidemiology of AHF and BHF cases\, risk factors\, clinical presentations and management\, and review a public health program model for arenavirus control. Interpretation services will be provided during the event. \nPANELISTS \nAnabel Sinchi\, MD\, MPH\nCristian Castellón Gutierrez\, MD\nMaria (Gaby) Frank\, MD\, FACP\, SFHM – Moderator \nContinuing education credits will be provided for this activity. \nPlease visit NETEC for more information.
