Internal Scientific Advisory Panel

Meet our Internal Scientific Advisory Panel

Our Internal Scientific Advisory Panel (ISAP) is made up of members from across our partner academic institutions, who meet regularly to discuss the scientific work of The Pandemic Institute. Working across five research themes, ISAP brings together biomedical and health researchers, data scientists and modellers, plus behavioural

and communication experts to tackle  emerging infections and future pandemic threats. If you are interested in joining our panel please get in touch on [email protected].
