ADVICE

Keep mRNA Research For Rapid Response

  • Brett Giroir recommends retaining mRNA as a rapid-response platform for future pandemics and biothreats.
  • He emphasizes keeping research capability available for unknown fast-moving threats like novel avian influenza or engineered agents.
INSIGHT

Dual-Use Research Raises Pandemic Risk
