Ebola and Emerging Viruses

October 21, 2014, 11:00am EDT

With the increase in urbanization and globalization, emerging virus infections are increasing both in prevalence and scale. 

The current Ebola virus epidemic is a notable and devastating example of the toll that emerging viral infections can have on the human population as well as the urgent need to understand the biology of this disease. 

In light of these on-going challenges, this webinar will bring together scientists and clinicians studying Ebola and other emerging viruses to discuss recent advances in our understanding of these viruses as well as potential therapeutic and public health strategies to rapidly respond and control these infections.

Within our community we have so many nonprofit organizations, some performing the same function with variations in mission & vision, and approaching the same funding pool with negative results.  Some forming at the drop of a hat, and even ordered online via the internet. 

We have to begin to combine our resources, by pass egos, promote collaborations, partnerships, and strategic thinking beyond the expected.  Two or four squeaky wheels are more effective supporting the wagon to get greased then one.
