Leading the PROVIDENT program, Dr. Chandran and a team of scientists from Einstein and 12 other institutions in academia, government, and industry are working together to look at three large groups of viruses that could cause outbreaks and pandemics in the future. PROVIDENT seeks to develop versatile "plug-and-play" platforms for rapid vaccine and therapy creation. The goal is to be prepared for future outbreaks, using known viruses as models to swiftly address new and unforeseen threats. Dr. Chandran explains how this collaborative effort will enhance the ability to tackle potential pandemics and ensure timely countermeasures against viruses that might emerge in the future. The grant is part of NIAID’s new Research and Development of Vaccines and Monoclonal Antibodies for Pandemic Preparedness (ReVAMPP) Network, which was announced earlier today. </video>
