There is no such thing as Disease X gain of function research. Disease X is not a real virus or disease. According to the WHO, Disease X represents the knowledge that a future serious epidemic could be caused by a pathogen currently unknown to cause human disease. https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2023/08/29/disease-x
