Duke Team Awarded $1 million to Predict the Next Pandemic
Experts know COVID-19 won't be the last major pandemic. What they don't know is where, or when, the next one will begin.
An interdisciplinary team from Duke, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), North Carolina State University (NCSU) and the Triangle Center for Evolutionary Medicine (TriCEM) is hoping to change that.
Thanks to a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the team is pinpointing the factors that are likely to turn a local outbreak into a global pandemic.
