Lloyd Minor, MD, Dean of Stanford School of Medicine, and Jonathan Levin, PhD, Dean, Stanford Graduate School of Business share their opening remarks for the four-part virtual series, Pandemic Puzzle: Lessons from COVID-19.

COVID-19 vaccines will forever stand as a milestone scientific achievement. The speed of their development and astonishing efficacy have opened eyes and doors that will shape the future of biomedicine. The fourth session will explore how to build on this watershed moment – from bold R&D investment to regulatory science – to enable agile medicine, advance therapeutics, and leverage the full potential of cutting-edge platforms deployed during the pandemic and those yet to be discovered.
