Gates Foundation launches $12M Grand Challenge for universal flu vaccine, as Bill Gates urges world to prepare for war on pandemics
Gates also announced the launch of a $12 million grand challenge that will fund research into universal flu vaccines, something he says is essential to preparing for the next flu pandemic.
The world needs to prepare for pandemics the way the military prepares for war.
“The goal is to encourage bold thinking by the world’s best scientists across disciplines, including those new to the field,” Gates will say, according to a draft of his prepared remarks. The challenge will be funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the family of Google co-founder and Alphabet CEO Larry Page.
