In the aftermath of the pandemic, scientists are looking at how SARS-CoV-2 arose and how humanity responded to the virus to better prepare for the next potential pandemic. In this symposium, researchers will highlight the conditions that make a pathogen more likely to cause a pandemic, what precautions can be taken from scientific, diagnostic, and therapeutic perspectives, and the role of public health in pandemic preparedness.
