PHC Global was founded in 2020 by Dr. Charity Dean with the mission to build a commercial-grade global biosecurity intelligence platform operating across commercial, defense, and civilian enterprises. This effort was born from the recognition that technological advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence could generate this entirely new capability at speed and scale to detect major global biorisks such as new disease outbreaks and bioterrorism threats.

PHC Global’s software platform provides anticipatory and predictive intelligence of global biorisks through its proprietary data, AI/ML tools, and unparalleled public health expertise, effectively replacing a significant amount of human vigilance and manual data gathering in order to give organizations easy-to-understand, actionable recommendations.

PHC’s world-class team includes experts in technology, machine learning, epidemiology, and global security. We are a tight-knit team passionately committed to making the world safer from biological risks and face challenges with our core values of humility, optimism, and integrity.
