An Invisible Biosafety/Biosecurity Network Made Visible
Disease testing has never been more a part of our day-to-day lives, just as constant awareness of a worldwide infectious disease threat has never been more a part of our lives. Even with this presence, like me, you might never have thought to look under the hood of the testing process.
In this episode of the PandemicTech Podcast, we bring you an exploration of biosafety and biosecurity, diagnostic practices that have become intensely personal for all of us over the last twelve months, whether we realized it or not.
Today, we’ll get to know Luis Ochoa-Carrera and Maureen Ellis, two biosafety and biosecurity specialists who manage the safe handling and process of live infectious disease pathogens like COVID that threaten the safety and health of citizens across the globe.

Disease Surveillance: Nurturing Ecosystems of Information
Disease surveyors — public health experts who collect, analyse, and interpret enormous amounts of health data, and, like sentries on watch, guard the gate — alert our healthcare first responders whenever infectious diseases threaten. In today’s episode, we explore the role of PandemicTech’s friends and colleagues in disease surveillance — Dr. Britta Lassmann, Dr. Philip AbdelMalik, and Dr. Oyewale Tomori.
