Local Opportunities in the Global Fight Against Deadly Pandemic Featuring: Dr. Jean Patterson Texas Biomedical Research Institute Wednesday, July 8, 2015 11:45 am Oak Hills Country Club |
|
Just because the global spread of a previously rare, foreign virus has been the plot of Hollywood disaster movies doesn't mean it couldn't happen.
When Ebola came to the US in 2014, Dr. Jean Patterson's vaccine development work made her a resource in the nation's response.
Six labs in the US are authorized to work with the deadliest of pathogens. Dr. Patterson leads the one at
TBRI. She will talk about her team's decade of painstaking research, their several months supporting frenzies
efforts to prevent spread, and the opportunities to increase San Antonio's impact in the battle against communicable disease.
