Last week (Feb 2nd) the New York Academy of Sciences hosted a 2-hour debate over H5N1 `dual use’ research.
The discussion – called Dual Use Research: H5N1 Influenza Virus and Beyond – was moderated by famed epidemiologist and virus hunter Professor Ian Lipkin, who among his many accomplishments is Director, Center for Infection & Immunity, and John Snow Professor of Epidemiology at Columbia.
The panel members consisted of:
- Arturo Casadevall, MD, PhD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and member, NSABB;
- Laurie Garrett, PhD, Council on Foreign Relations;
- Barbara R. Jasny, PhD, Science;
- Veronique Kiermer, PhD, Nature Publishing Group;
- Michael T. Osterholm, PhD, MPH, Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, University of Minnesota, and member, NSABB;
- Peter Palese, PhD, Mount Sinai School of Medicine;
- Vincent Racaniello, PhD, Columbia University;
- Alan S. Ruldolph, PhD, Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
The result was a lively, sometimes heated debate.
Today, the NYAS has posted video of that debate (in 2 parts) on their website.
