Dr. van Oosterwijk will speak on "Using zoonotic disease surveillance to guide oral vaccine design" and will present the methods US Biologic uses to effectively prevent pandemic-level diseases at first surveillance.
"Surveillance is an essential first step," van Oosterwijk says, "But it's not the last step to prevent pandemics that can cost millions of lives and trillions in economic damage." In the presentation, Dr. van Oosterwijk will connect effective surveillance, rapid vaccine design, manufacturing, and application, as well interactions between complementary animal and human vaccination campaigns.

"US Biologic's oral-delivery platform provides an essential toolkit to protect American health and security. How else are we going to prevent the next animal-borne pandemic?"
