The PICANTE Challenge...
... Is to develop a proactive (predictive) model to integrate diverse data from pathogens, wild hosts, and the changing human/environment interfaces. We propose to leverage
- samples and informatics from biodiversity infrastructure.
- high-throughput pathogen screening pipelines
- informatics networks to identify high-risk pathogens, and social, environmental, biological features contributing to pandemic risk
- interface signatures allow generalizable predictions, real-time geovisualization, and international scalability for action in communities and in the policy arena.
- modeling approaches (genomic, geo-spatial, mathematical and agent based) to interpret, analyze and communicate data from vast biorepositories to predict the next pandemic.
- the DAMA protocol (document, assess, monitor, and act)
