2 Dzokoto-Pomenya ( ) who was instrumental in > yorations This looks great--thanks for sharing! Happy to meet when you are in town, and I'm looping in Dina, who can work with your folks to find some time. Regarding BARDA, I would recommend reaching out to Sandeep Patel (Sandeep.Patel@hhs.gov), who was instrumental in getting BARDA Ventures up and running. Happy to facilitate an introduction, if helpful. Best, Tara A.

Hi Larry, Tara, Following up on our recent chats, I wanted to confidentially share with you a draft overview of our new effort. Please note that this continues to be a work in progress, so I'd ask that you please not share this material. This is meant to give you a sense of the programmatic areas we are currently pursuing - what is missing in this version is the incentives element that I think is incredibly important for discussion and I'll build into the next iteration. I'm currently targeting May 2-4 to visit the DC area for exploratory meetings. I'd love to meet with you during that time if possible, and also welcome your recommendations on additional potential partners - perhaps in the BARDA ecosystem? I'm not connected there and would appreciate your advice/introduction. Many thanks and have a great weekend!
