About Event

Biological threats represent some of the most pressing global risks of our time, yet they remain significantly under-prioritized compared to their potential impact.

In this talk, participants will learn 1) What biosecurity encompasses and why it should be a priority within the EA community; 2) How antimicrobial resistance (AMR) fits into the broader biosecurity landscape and why it deserves special attention; and 3) Why AMR represents a "silent pandemic" with massive intervention opportunities when analyzed through EA frameworks of importance, neglectedness, and tractability, plus how it connects with other cause areas like global health and development.

This talk will be held by Yasmin Cürük (Robert-Koch Institute and Charité, Berlin - yasmin-cueruek-0ba673159).

Date and Time: 24th March 2026, 6:30 pm (CET)
Location: Online (Google Meet)
