Building Early Warning Systems Against Pandemic Threats
NEW YORK – August 27, 2020 – Perhaps one of the greatest lessons from COVID is that we’re not nearly prepared enough to fight emerging infectious diseases. Pandemics leave in their wake loss of life, major economic devastation, mental health crises, and many other unprecedented societal disruptions. By targeting the critical inflection points where novel pathogens make the jump from animals to humans, we can avoid the catastrophe altogether. EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit working at the intersection of animal, environmental, and human health on a global scale, is proud to announce its latest program: The Emerging Infectious Diseases Southeast Asia Research Collaboration Hub (EID-SEARCH). This is one of a new group of Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases (CREID) supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a part of the National Institutes of Health, with a grant of $7.5 million over 5 years.
Collaborators on this project include Conservation Medicine and government partners in Malaysia, Chulalongkorn Hospital in Thailand, Duke - National University of Singapore, Uniformed Services University in the USA, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the USA.
"Duke-NUS brings the highest standards of research and laboratory capacity into a region that has seen a number of emerging disease outbreaks. Our work on EID-SEARCH will allow us to bring the latest molecular and serological techniques to identify and stop diseases before they have a chance to emerge," Lin-Fa Wang, Duke-NUS, Singapore, said. "Thailand’s partnership in this Center will continue to build international collaboration with the USA on research capacity for emerging disease threats in Thailand and throughout southeast Asia," Dr. Supaporn Wacharapluesadee, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, said. "This research will advance our understanding of the ability of zoonotic viruses to spill over into high-risk human populations and cause illnesses that may have been previously unreported, or undiagnosed. The results will be scientifically important, and have great public health value in the region, and globally, by identifying key pandemic threats in an EID hotspot," Tom Hughes, Director Conservation Medicine, Malaysia, said. "With this Center, we will gain a better understanding of what viruses are out there in reservoir species and whether or not they have the potential to spill over into humans. The goal is to be better prepared for the next emerging viral pandemic," Dr. Timothy Sheahan, University of North Carolina’s Gillings School of Global Public Health said.

Emerging Infectious Diseases – South East Asia Research Collaboration Hub
Program Info
EcoHealth Alliance’s EID-SEARCH is part of the NIAID-funded Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases (CREID) Network. EID-SEARCH is a collaboration among scientist leaders in emerging disease research in the USA, Thailand, Singapore, and the three major Malaysian administrative regions. The collaborative networks include more than 50 clinics, laboratories, and research institutes across Southeast Asian countries to better understand and respond to the risk of zoonotic viral emergence in Southeast Asia.

We Knew Disease X Was Coming. It’s Here Now.
We need to stop what drives mass epidemics rather than just respond to individual diseases.

Other than this leads back to China..Wonder what Pharma companies are going to benefit by this. Also what exactly is the relationship between Fauci and Daszak?
