Presented By: Nischay Mishra, PhD
Speaker Biography: Nischay Mishra is a virologist, immunologist, and molecular biologist and with eighteen years of experience in the field of microbial infectious diseases, viral zoonoses, clinical diagnostic assay development, outbreak and epidemic investigations, wastewater surveillance, and pandemic preparedness. His research focuses on developing advanced microbial and serological platforms for pathogen discovery, emergence, evolution and surveillance of known and novel viruses and bacteria, and clinical diagnostic assays. He conducts research on pathogenicity, virulence and transmissibility of microbial agents and their association to acute diseases, and role in chronic disorders. ...
Webinar: Keynote Presentation: Pathogen Discovery and Diagnostic Tools for Pandemic Preparedness and Prevention with Live Q&A
Webinar Abstract: Emerging viruses like SARS, SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, Hendra, Nipah, West Nile, sin nombre, LuJo, MERS, Powassan, dengue, chikungunya, zika, Ebola, and Marburg pose a growing threat to public health. Rapid and earlier discovery of these viruses before/upon their entry into the human population could have facilitated rapid identification, blood supply protection, prevention of human-to-human transmission, containment, and targeted drug/vaccine design to curtail disease spread. The weight of emerging infectious disease burden is exacerbated by endemic viral and bacterial infections, as well as the challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Unveiling and characterizing new viruses in humans and wildlife, including bats, rodents, live-stock and non-human primates, especially viruses with zoonotic potential are essential for future pandemic prevention. Our understanding of viral diversity, distribution, and circulation is still limited, thus finding any novel and an unknown virus is difficult and require sensitive highthroughput discovery tools....
