The past year has underscored the threat that emerging viruses pose to global health. The 2021 John Dirks Canada Gairdner Global Health award recognizes the contributions of Joseph Sriyal Malik Peiris and Yi Guan toward understanding the origins and options for control of newly emerging infectious disease outbreaks in Asia, notably zoonotic influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Nicole Neuman of Cell corresponded with Malik Peiris about his path to studying emerging infectious diseases and the challenges of this work. Excerpts of their exchange are included here.
