“There were less than twelve people and nothing ever happened.We’d see maybe five new viruses a day, and they would spread in a matter of months,not minutes.

Due to difficulty in finding experts in any one place, The response center team is now a diverse group of people. One senior
researcher is from Hungary, while another is from Iceland.
Celebrating diversity in workplace and facilitating a comfortable and inclusive working environment for people of all ethnicities,
