In this week's episode, we're joined by prominent epidemiologist Prof. Sunetra Gupta from Merton College, Oxford who specialises in the evolution of pathogens including parasites, bacteria and viruses and in modelling the spread of pathogens through populations. She is also heavily involved in the development of vaccines to control their spread. She has been an outspoken critic of the British government's approach to tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, and is here to discuss the concept of pandemic disease in general as well as lessons we have learnt from COVID and how we can improve our response to pathogenic outbreaks in future.
Prof. Gupta is currently fostering a collaborative effort to gain insights into the collateral effects of COVID-19 control measures globally and gathering ideas for how we can better approach pandemics in future. Her website can be found at https://collateralglobal.org where she encourages anyone who wants to contribute to do so!
