BioRadar CEO and co-founder Ashish Jha will speak at Aspen Ideas: Health 2026, taking place June 22–25 at the Aspen Institute's campus in Aspen, Colorado. Now in its 13th year, Aspen Ideas: Health is one of the most influential health gatherings in the country, bringing together over 1,000 leaders across medicine, public health, biotechnology, policy, and academia to advance bold approaches to better health for all.

Dr. Jha will join a panel on pandemic preparedness — one of the festival's most urgent conversations — alongside infectious disease epidemiologist Jessica Malaty Rivera, founding African CDC Director John Nkengasong, and moderator Céline Gounder of KFF Health News and CBS News. The session confronts a stark reality: another pandemic will come, and the structural, scientific, and policy shifts needed to meet it remain incomplete. It is precisely the kind of conversation Dr. Jha has spent his career shaping and works to influence at BioRadar.

As a physician, researcher, and one of the nation's most visible pandemic response leaders during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Jha brings unmatched credibility to the intersection of infectious disease, health policy, and biological preparedness. His presence at Aspen Ideas: Health reflects that stature — and BioRadar's mission to improve detection and public health preparedness capabilities. Aspen Ideas: Health 2026 arrives as BioRadar accelerates its city-level pilots and deepens partnerships with public health agencies, health systems, and government bodies across the country. This week in Aspen, Dr. Jha takes the stage not just as a former government official reflecting on lessons learned — but as a founder actively building the biological intelligence infrastructure the United States needs to be ready for what comes next.
