Bringing together the UK’s leading research teams to support pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.

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.
