Bringing together the UK’s leading research teams to support pandemic prevention, preparedness and response
Current Chairs: Professor Emma Thomson (MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research) and Professor Kenneth Baillie (Baillie Gifford Pandemic Science Hub, University of Edinburgh).
The UK’s science and innovation-led approach to combatting COVID-19 has delivered major national and global benefits at record speed. This has leveraged expertise and capabilities from across a wide range of leading UK universities, academic institutions and life science companies. The UK Pandemic Sciences Network (UKPSN) was formed in 2022 to build upon this and improve our responsiveness to future pandemic threats.
Our Mission
The UKPSN brings together the UK’s leading universities and pandemic science research teams to support the delivery of the G7’s 100 Days Mission on diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics, and improve pandemic preparedness both in the UK and globally. The network consists of ten founding partner organisations, with scope for addition of further organisations over time.
The ultimate purpose of the network is through scientific discovery and innovation, to help protect people and society from infectious disease outbreaks that may otherwise lead to an epidemic or pandemic.
