Exscientia — Agonists for Interferon Lambda

[Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $2,300,000 to Exscientia to conduct research on the activation of the host interferon response as a therapeutic approach for pandemic influenza and COVID-19. This grant was funded via our request for proposals through the Pandemic Antiviral Discovery Initiative. It falls within our focus area of biosecurity and pandemic preparedness.
