This in-person two-day workshop will convene experts in zoonotic epidemiology, ecology, virology, public health and emergency preparedness, machine learning, and drug and vaccine development with the goals of:  

• identifying, cataloging, and characterizing pathogens that may likely cross species barriers

• developing methods to detect the emergence of species-crossing pathogens, both to humans and domesticated animals

• simulating plausible (unknown) threats based on our understanding of known pathogens

Through a combination of expert panels and provocative breakout discussions, we aim to articulate a 5-10 year research agenda for detecting unknown pathogen threats.
