Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To eliminate the risks posed by pandemic threats through the advancement of science and innovation in medical countermeasure development, ensuring the health and well-being of individuals and communities worldwide.

  • The Synthetic Innate Immunity program aims to develop medicines that serve as society's first line of defense against emerging viral outbreaks by taking inspiration from natural mechanisms of innate immunity. By encoding natural or engineered pattern recognition receptors PRRs and interferon-stimulated genes ISGs in DNA delivered to the respiratory tract, the program works to persistently enhance a patient's natural sense-and-respond capacity, potentially providing prophylactic protection against a broad range of respiratory viruses for months.

    Expenses $330,152

  • PAN-2025-001 is a single-site, two-arm, parallel-group superiority randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 1:1 allocation, designed to evaluate whether large language model (LLM) use improves the ability of novice lab participants to independently perform complex biological tasks. Participants attempt a fixed sequence of five laboratory obstacles that represent the core skills required to create a virus via reverse genetics with or without LLM assistance.

    Expenses $235,675

  • The organization periodically provides subject-matter expertise in molecular biology and related life sciences disciplines to AI companies. Such services include responding to technical inquiries and developing advanced scientific problem sets designed to evaluate complex biological reasoning and analytical capabilities in emerging AI technologies. These activities further the organizations scientific research mission and promote the responsible development and evaluation of AI tools.
