At a time when public attention to pandemic risk<\/strong> seems to be waning, in spite of the increased frequency of global epidemics, Fondazione Invernizzi<\/strong>, in collaboration with ISPI<\/strong> (Institute for International Political Studies), organised a meeting entitled \u201cPandemic: a forgotten danger?\u201d, which was held on Tuesday 14th April at 6.00<\/strong> pm at Palazzo Invernizzi Conference Centre in Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative was designed as an opportunity for reflection and exchange between the scientific community, institutions and the industry on the topic of preparedness for future pandemics<\/strong> and the role played by medical research<\/strong> in preventing and addressing new global health emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on lessons learnt during COVID-19 pandemic<\/strong> and the experience gained in the study of other infectious diseases, including Hepatitis C<\/strong>, the meeting explored how the speed of scientific response depends on long-term investment in research, solid collaboration between the public and private sectors<\/strong>, and the ability to translate scientific knowledge into effective policy decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting opened with a keynote lecture<\/strong> by Prof. Charles Rice<\/strong>, a virologist at Rockefeller University and winner of 2020 Nobel Prize in Medicine, who offered a scientific perspective on the evolution of medical research in the last few years and on challenges linked to the study of emerging viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
