SUMMARY:Addressing the Global Challenges of Drug-Resistant Gonorrhea
DESCRIPTION:Neisseria gonorrhoeae\, the cause of the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea\, causes a high burden of disease and has become resistant to each of the first-line antibiotics used to treat it\, including increasing resistance to ceftriaxone\, the mainstay of treatment globally. With two new antibiotics recently approved for treatment\, the increasing use of doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis for bacterial sexually transmitted infections\, and development of new diagnostics\, we have new tools to deploy. But how best to do so remains unclear. \nIn this presentation\, Professor Yonatan Grad will review recent advances in the diagnosis\, treatment\, and prevention of gonorrhea\, and discuss emerging frameworks for optimizing implementation and rollout strategies in diverse healthcare settings. \nThis webinar is free and open to the public and will include time for audience Q&A. \nRegister \n\nSpeaker\n \nYonatan Grad\, MD\, PhD\nProfessor of Immunology and Infectious Diseases and Director\, Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics\, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; Faculty\, Division of Infectious Diseases\, Brigham and Women’s Hospital \nYonatan is Professor of Immunology and Infectious Diseases and Director of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health\, and faculty in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The Grad lab focuses on how to prepare and respond effectively to infectious disease threats through understanding interacting processes from microbial evolution through human ecology. The lab uses interdisciplinary methods\, including microbial genetics\, population genomics\, and mathematical modeling to move across these scales\, with goals of advancing clinical and public health practices. He works with public health institutions locally\, nationally\, and internationally\, including serving on WHO guideline committees for sexually transmitted infections. \n\n  \nGlobal Health Research and Innovation Speaker Series\nThe Harvard Global Health Institute’s Global Health Research and Innovation Speaker Series showcases the latest scholarly and scientific advancements in global health across Harvard and beyond\, to make cutting-edge research accessible to a diverse global audience\, and to spark innovative solutions in the pursuit of health equity and improved health outcomes worldwide. The public series takes place virtually on the second Tuesday of each month from 12:00 to 12:45 pm ET. Each session will include a presentation by a featured speaker showcasing their innovative research in global health\, followed by a moderated Q&A. \nThe Harvard Global Health Institute provides a platform for different perspectives and debates within the field of global health through a variety of media. The views expressed in these events and programs are solely those of the speakers\, authors\, researchers\, and participating audience. As such\, they do not speak for the institute or the university.

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. \nA reception will follow the symposium\, where attendees will also have the opportunity to view Harvard student research posters on malaria. \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).
