EvoVir: EvoVir: AI-Powered Forecasting for Pandemic Early Warning

We’re building AI/ML pandemic early warning technology. EvoVir will identify threats and produce forecasts within 24 hours of detecting a novel virus, compared to the current lag time of ~30 days. Governments, NGOs, and pharma/biotech will be empowered to make rapid decisions about resource allocation and countermeasure manufacturing.

Biography

How can we catch a pandemic before it spreads? Stephen Goldstein is an evolutionary virologist and founder of EvoVir, building AI-powered pandemic early warning technology. He earned his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and conducted research on coronavirus evolution and SARS-CoV-2 origins at the University of Utah, where he became a leading voice on pandemic preparedness. EvoVir aims to compress the current 30-day threat detection lag to under 24 hours.
