  • Funding Opportunity and Invitation to DARPA PROPHECY Teaming Day

    DARPA's viral pathogen surveillance program known as "Prophecy" is based on a multi-year investment in the preemptive prediction of emerging viruses using in-silica models validated by high-throughput biological validation systems, all of which are corrected by the real-time reporting of mutations in animal reservoirs or humans. A Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) will soon be released for Prophecy which will seek integrated multi-disciplinary solutions to predicting viral pathogens before emergence in natural ecologies.
