The UK and US have joined forces to tackle the rising threat of pandemics, antimicrobial resistance, and bioterrorism. This strategic alliance aims to enhance collaboration on bio-surveillance, develop vaccines and therapeutics, expedite disease outbreak response, conduct microbial forensics, and promote responsible innovation in biotechnology and life sciences. The partnership builds upon the commitments made in the Atlantic Declaration signed by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and US President Joe Biden last year. In addition, the UK’s biosecurity capabilities will receive a boost with a £2 million investment in the Guy’s and St Thomas’ respiratory metagenomics project, which utilizes genetic sequencing to detect pathogens and gather crucial data on emerging diseases. The alliance represents a shared commitment to bolster resilience against biosecurity threats and safeguard the health and economic security of both nations.
