How do we deal with unknown diseases? – Dr Dennis Carroll

Dr Dennis Carroll is Director of the Emerging Threats Program at the U.S. Agency for International Development.

We spoke to him at EIDA2Z about the current approach to tackling emerging diseases – and how we need to change it.

The Microbiology Society is a membership charity for scientists interested in microbes, their effects and their practical uses. It is one of the largest microbiology societies in Europe with a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes and schools.

Our principal goal is to develop, expand and strengthen the networks available to our members so that they can generate new knowledge about microbes and ensure that it is shared with other communities. The impacts from this will drive us towards a world in which the science of microbiology provides maximum benefit to society.
