The Global Virome Project (GVP) is an American-led international collaborative research initiative based in Davis, California. It operates out of the One Health Institute at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.[1]
¶ History
From August 8-11, 2016, the Rockefeller Foundation hosted a conference at its Bellagio Center to discuss the development of a global alliance to "identify and characterize, within a decade, 99% of all zoonotic viruses with epidemic/pandemic potential in order to better predict, prevent, and respond to future viral pandemic threats." Attendees included Ana Ayala, Prasert Auewarakul, Cara Chrisman, Amy Espeseth, Keiji Fukuda, Michael Kurilla, Ian Lipkin, Steven Solomon and Maria Van Kerkhovea.[2]
On February 23, 2018, Dennis Carroll, Peter Daszak, Nathan Wolfe, George Gao, Carlos Morel, Subhash Morzaria, Ariel Pablos-Méndez, Oyewale Tomoriand and Jonna Mazet published an article in Science announcing their intention to form the Global Virome Project. Its stated purpose was to help identify impending viral threats before they emerge and “provide timely data for public health interventions against future pandemics.”[3]
¶ Organization
GVP is a founding member of the Trinity Challenge.[4]
