On May 6, 2021, Dr. Lauren Ancel Meyers discussed the new Center for Advanced Pathogen Threat and Response Simulation (CAPTRS) and its pioneering vision to apply sophisticated war gaming technology to build robust health and socioeconomic lines of defense against future pathogen threats.
CAPTRS has three core elements that differ from the science today: (1) an AI-based “synthetic” threat lab that generates a universe of pathogen threats; (2) a multi-disciplinary collaboration hub where researchers convene to develop solutions; and (3) the situation room where Pathogen War Gaming™ technology will be used to simulate real-time responses and their consequences.
During this presentation, Hertz Fellows are invited to participate by providing input as CAPTRS develops this new science.
This special event will take place live on Thursday, May 6, 2021, 12:00 –1:30 p.m. Pacific, using the Zoom video conference platform. You can attend on a desktop, mobile device, or by phone. Please register using the form below, and we’ll email you the Zoom meeting information.
