Recent data on 12\,000 mammalian virus-host interactions suggest that enveloped viruses are the most likely cause of the next pandemic and among those a segmented enveloped RNA virus with a high rate of antigenic drift and shift\, maximizing viral escape from immune interventions\, may present the biggest threat. Currently members of the panzoonotic H5 virus family are spreading rapidly among birds and a wide range of mammal species. Evidence will be presented that a combination of an easy-to-use universal antiviral drug for the first 100 days able to prevent human-to-human transmission and a series of prime and boost virus family-specific vaccines thereafter protecting against severe human disease by consecutive and fast evolving virus strains and clades may present the best of options to prevent catastrophic events.   \n\n\n\nSHORT BIO  \n\n\n\nJaap Goudsmit has an MD and PhD degree from the  University of Amsterdam. He was a Fogarthy Scientist at the National Institutes of Health from 1978 till 1983 and was full professor of virology at the University of Amsterdam from 1989-2000.   \n\n\n\nJaap Goudsmit was Chief Scientific Officer of the Vaccine Company Crucell from 2000 till 2011 when the company was acquired by Johnson and Johnson in 2011 and developed an Adenovirus vaccine platform resulting in licensed vaccines against Ebola and Covid-19.

The whos\, hows\, what\, and whys of benefiting from the construction and perpetuation of societal hierarchies based on race\, ethnicity\, ancestry\, caste\, and other social identities. \n\n\n\n2. Is there a global agreement on which groups have historically been targeted by racism and racialization?

We propose Tissue-Gene Fine-Mapping (TGFM)\, which infers the posterior probability (PIP) for each gene-tissue pair to mediate a disease locus by analyzing summary statistics and eQTL data; TGFM also assigns PIPs to non-mediated variants. TGFM accounts for co-regulation across genes and tissues and models uncertainty in cis-predicted expression models\, enabling correct calibration. We applied TGFM to 45 UK Biobank diseases/traits using eQTL data from 38 GTEx tissues. TGFM identified an average of 147 PIP>0.5 causal genetic elements per disease/trait\, of which 11% were gene-tissue pairs. Causal gene-tissue pairs identified by TGFM reflected both known biology (e.g.\, TPO-thyroid for Hypothyroidism) and biologically plausible findings (e.g.\, SLC20A2-artery aorta for Diastolic blood pressure). Application of TGFM to single-cell eQTL data from 9 cell types in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)\, analyzed jointly with GTEx tissues\, identified 30 additional causal gene-PBMC cell type pairs. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBio: Alkes PriceDr. Price is a professor in the Program in Genetic Epidemiology and Statistical Genetics in the Department of Epidemiology at Harvard Chan\, with a secondary appointment in the Department of Biostatistics.  He is an associate member of the Program in Medical and Population Genetics at the Broad Institute\, and a member of the Program in Quantitative Genomics at Harvard Chan.  Dr. Price received a Ph.D. in mathematics and M.S.E. in computer science from the University of Pennsylvania.  His post-doctoral training was mentored by Dr. Pavel Pevzner in the department of computer science at UCSD and Dr. David Reich in the department of genetics at Harvard Medical School.  He has been a faculty member at Harvard Chan since 2008. Dr. Price’s research focuses on the development of statistical methods for uncovering the genetic basis of human disease\, and on the population genetics underlying these methods.  Areas of interest include functional components of disease heritability\, common vs. rare variant architectures of disease\, and disease mapping in structured populations.  \n\n\n\nBen StroberDr. Strober is a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health supervised by Dr. Alkes Price.

Light Refreshments will be provided. \n\n\n\nPoverty in the Delta has been written on\, researched\, and is now the model of economic desolation for the rest of the country. For example\, Mississippi is the last state on lists such as employment\, education\, and opportunity. At the same time\, Mississippi is the first state on lists such as obesity\, crime\, and poverty. Those living outside of the Delta are quick to the perspective of negativity\, desolation\, and decline when thinking about the Delta. These individuals are quick to point towards the looming statistics without having a thought towards the communities represented by those numbers. However\, the narrative does not end there. In spite of all the mentioned struggles faced in this region\, a deep sense of community continues to resiliently grow behind the shadow of poverty. A sense of community where gardens are being utilized to feed senior citizens\, churches are using their buses to drive members to grocery stores\, and mayors double as food pantry directors. A sense of community that anyone living in the Delta is aware of and lives with. A sense of community that is hidden by negative stereotypes to much of the nation and especially the rest of Mississippi. Helping Hands stands in the gap of research and perspective between the looming statistics of food insecurity and the community that stands defiantly in opposition. \n\n\n\nEvent Flier \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOffice of Educational Programs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School. \n In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n \n \n \n Degree Programs \n \n \n \n How to Apply \n \n \n \n Advanced Learning Academy URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/educational-programs/events/helping-hands-the-mississippi-delta-food-community/ LOCATION:Kresge G2\, Harvard Chan School\, 677 Huntington Ave.\, Boston\, MA\, 02115 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250415T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250415T133000 DTSTAMP:20260525T035052 CREATED:20250310T194710Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260417T170118Z UID:111360005964-1744722000-1744723800@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Radiological Emergency Management DESCRIPTION:Home / Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2026 Healthy Aging Symposium\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n Conferences and Symposia\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Register Today \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a webinar on the Radiological Emergency Management program offered by Harvard Chan School Executive and Continuing Education\, hosted by Program Director Steven B.

This talk will attempt to widen the perspective on epidemiologic methods. How do we develop and communicate our research plans in a team? How do the numbers from a regression model make it into a table in a manuscript? Practical examples will be shown how standard approaches from data science and free software packages can speed up our work in epidemiology and improve its reproducibility. As a corollary\, epidemiology-minded data science might not just need to be a core component in the training of the next generation of epidemiologists\, but can in turn also help teach epidemiologic methods.  \n\n\n\nBio: Konrad Stopsack leads the Department of Epidemiological Methods and Etiological Research at the Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology – BIPS in Bremen\, Germany. His applied research focuses on molecular and cancer epidemiology. His methodologic and teaching interests include application and further development of epidemiologic methods to improve reproducibility\, interpretability\, and efficiency of epidemiologic studies.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n Konrad H.
