This is a really great list! Thanks for taking the time to write this post.

Thank you for this list! These kind of overviews are extremely helpful.

Awesome list, thank you for sharing!

Is there any further research on those project ideas, eg comparing the ideas in terms of size, tractability and neglectedness?

There is definitely a lot of further research on some of these specific ideas (I tried to link out to a few projects), but I don't know of a ton of comparative research on them. It's possible there are internal ITN estimates at some grantmaking orgs? And this graph from  Technologies to Address Global Catastrophic Risk is in the right direction (but doesn't focus on neglectedness):


Additionally, I believe some organizations in the EA community (e.g. Open Philanthropy and Convergent Research) working on deeper strategic / comparative investigations of possible biorisk mitigation efforts. 

This is useful, but shouldn't there be projects to breakdown the pipeline that could enable engineered pandemics? This seems the highest risk among all possibilities.

Thanks so much for this!
