The United States Government will convene a workshop focused on development of medical countermeasures against Marburg virus (MARV) and Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV). 

The recent case of Marburg in Guinea underscores the need for vaccines against these threats. As we work towards product development, it’s important that we try to maximize coordination across programs to avoid duplicative efforts.

PRIMARY EVENT OBJECTIVES

1. Provide consolidated updates of assay/model statuses to product sponsors
2. Create a forum for product sponsors to discuss their assay/model strategies
3. Foster cross-talk & collaboration among product sponsors & assay/model developers
