FILE – In this Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021, file photo, Peter Daszak makes a call on a foggy day before leaving his hotel with other members of a World Health Organization team for another day of field visit in Wuhan in central China’s Hubei province. In 1987, Daszak earned his zoology undergraduate degree from the University of Bangor, Wales, and later his Ph.D in parasitic infectious disease at the University of East London.
Daszak played a critical role at EcoHealth in securing funding from federal grant projects, with the majority of the funding coming from the National Institutes of Health. EcoHealth’s research model is also unique in that it conducts most of its projects in foreign laboratories, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology.“Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” was conducted at the WIV starting in 2019.
Daszak previously told the committees that the research would have been conducted exclusively at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but documents show that Daszak communicated with his research partners that a significant portion of the work would have been conducted at the WIV.
