Intercept Fund Information

Respiratory viruses kill 1 million people a year, cost us $600B annually, disrupt everyday life, and periodically threaten civilization. Recent breakthroughs may make it possible to develop broad-spectrum preventatives and air cleaning technologies that defend against common respiratory infections. Intercept is a $500M philanthropic initiative that will catalyze the development and deployment of the technologies needed to radically reduce the burden of respiratory infections, and eventually eliminate them altogether.
