This blog is authored by members of Coefficient Giving’s Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness team. We work on making the world robust to engineered pandemics and other threats from advanced biology. We are also interested in ways advanced AI systems could alter the physical world, and in how to protect against destructive technologies more broadly. Views discussed belong to individual authors and do not necessarily reflect those of Coefficient Giving.
We publish here in long form, and post lightly edited versions of the same material on our Substack for easy distribution.
Who we are
The Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness team at Coefficient Giving has made over 140 grants totalling more than $290 million. Current priorities include deploying respiratory protection, advancing defensive technologies like metagenomic sequencing and far-UVC, and supporting governance efforts on mirror bacteria and DNA synthesis screening.
