SUMMARY:Malaria in a Changing World: Past Lessons\, Present Challenges\, and Future Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nMalaria is one of the oldest human diseases\, having sculpted human biological evolution and history in many regions. Yet it remains a heavy burden on global public health in today’s changing world\, where migration\, climate change\, and shifting mosquito vectors are influencing the global stage for this disease. New insights and innovative control methods\, however\, may help turn the tide against the scourge of malaria. \nThe program will feature expert talks\, panel discussions\, and Q&A sessions with leading researchers\, including special guest Dr. Fitsum Tadesse from the Armauer Hansen Research Institute in Ethiopia\, who will share insights on the challenges facing malaria control in the Horn of Africa. A reception will follow the symposium for light refreshments. \nThis symposium is part of the Environmental Pressures on Malaria Scholarly Working Group\, supported by the Harvard Global Health Institute\, and is co-sponsored by the Defeating Malaria: From the Genes to the Globe Initiative\, the Nigerian Student Association at Harvard Chan\, and the Harvard Undergraduate Premedical Society. \nPlease note: This event is in person and registration is required (space is limited).  \nRegister \nSpeakers\n\nCaroline Buckee\, PhD | Deputy Director\, Institute for Disease Modeling\, Gates Foundation; Professor of Epidemiology\,\nHarvard T.H.
