NYC is one of the most heterogeneous cities in the U.S. She will share her work as the Associate Director of Population Science at the Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center\, where she builds research programs that address the needs of the catchment area. She will also share research from the Center of Social Capital (SoCa) Promoting Multigenerational Health\, a center she co-leads in response to the National Cancer Institute’s Persistent Poverty Initiative. The mission of the Center is to improve cancer risk and outcomes in persistent poverty census tracts throughout NYC by promoting multi-generational health. She will highlight recent work from the center. \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Rulla Tamimi is the Chief of the Division of Epidemiology in the Department of Population Health Sciences and Associate Director of Population Science at the Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center. She is a cancer epidemiologist whose research has advanced our understanding of breast cancer risk and prognosis. Dr. Tamimi has led numerous NIH-funded studies and authored over 400 peer-reviewed publications\, identifying key genetic\, molecular\, and lifestyle predictors of breast cancer. Her work includes studies of early-life and environmental exposures\, molecular tumor characterization\, and mammographic features as predictors of disease. Throughout her career\, she has played a key role in developing collaborative research efforts\, with a long-term commitment to improving cancer prevention and health equity. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n						\n							Rulla Tamimi\, ScD						\n					\n				Professor of Population Health Sciences; Population Health Sciences\, Weill Cornell Medical College \n			\n			\n					\n	\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDepartment of Epidemiology\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 executive and continuing education\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Executive and Continuing Education

For over 25 years\, her research has examined structural determinants of environmental health and how co-exposures to chemical and non-chemical stressors impact health. Much of her work has examined this question in the context of exposures to ambient air pollution\, drinking water contaminants\, endocrine disrupting chemicals\, extreme weather\, and effects on perinatal and developmental outcomes. In addition to using community-engaged approaches in her work\, Rachel also collaborates with regulatory agencies to develop science-policy tools to assess the cumulative impacts of multiple environmental and social factors that inform regulatory decision-making.  Morello-Frosch is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine and a 2025-26 Harvard Radcliffe Fellow.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n						\n							Rachel Morello-Frosch\, PhD\, MPH						\n					\n				Professor\, UC Berkeley School of Public Health\n			\n			\n												\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarvard Chan NIEHS Center for Environmental Health\n\n\n\nDepartment of Environmental Health\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 executive and continuing education\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Executive and Continuing Education

SUMMARY:14th Annual Roma Conference | Mapping Romani futures: Connected local histories and global realities
DESCRIPTION:Home / 404\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis River Will Carry You Home: Lessons from Rwanda’s Healing Circles\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\n			Hide caption\n		\n	\n	\n		\n		\n			Show caption\n		\n	\n\n\n	Participants in a community healing circle facilitated by a Community Healing Assistant (CHA)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Date \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInternational Roma Day has been celebrated by Romani communities around the world for decades. This year marks the 55th anniversary of the First World Roma Congress\, a historic gathering at which Roma Day\, the Romani flag\, and the anthem “Gelem\, Gelem” were adopted as key symbols of the global Roma diaspora. \n\n\n\nAcross regions\, neighborhoods\, organizations\, and institutions use this anniversary to highlight Romani heritage through concerts\, exhibitions\, film screenings\, conferences\, and media events. Many leaders and scholars also observe Roma Day with commemorations that honor victims of anti-Roma racism and reflect on progress in social\, political\, cultural\, and economic life. \n\n\n\nSince 2013\, the annual Harvard Roma Conference has provided a forum to examine and address anti-Roma racism—its origins\, history\, drivers\, protectors\, and global manifestations\, with particular attention to children and youth. The conference has worked to strengthen data collection on Roma (especially youth and children)\, improve research methods\, promote participatory action research with Romani youth\, and critically revisit histories\, policies\, and practices affecting Romani communities. A central goal has been to amplify and center Romani voices and experiences in global scholarship. \n\n\n\nOn April 10\, 2026\, the 14th Harvard Roma Conference\, Mapping Romani Futures: Connected Local Histories and Global Realities\, will once again mark Roma Day. This year’s event examines Romani histories and present-day realities to help shape more equitable futures for Romani children\, youth\, and generations to come\, situating these discussions within a global context of rising human rights abuses\, wars\, extremism\, and climate and digital threats. \n\n\n\nThis year’s program includes: \n\n\n\nKeynote panel on global and regional trends and threats affecting Romani children and youth\, especially in the context of escalating human rights abuses\, wars\, extremism\, and climate and digital risks. \n\n\n\nPanel 1 – Connected Futures\, Histories\, and Realities: Exploring connections and continuities in Romani histories and lived realities\, and how these shape the lives\, inequities\, and identities of Romani children\, youth\, and future generations. \n\n\n\nPanel 2 – Intersectionality and Intersecting Stories: Examining often overlooked and marginal axes of inequity in narratives of Romani histories\, realities\, and futures. \n\n\n\nBook talk: Continuing a recent tradition\, the conference will close with a book talk highlighting recent monographs on Romani people\, with emphasis on works that advance global scholarship. \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFXB Center for Health & Human Rights at Harvard University\n\n\n\nCentral European University Romani Studies Program\n\n\n\nCarr-Ryan Center for Human Rights (HKS)\n\n\n\nThe Committee on Ethnicity\, Migration\, Rights (EMR)\, Faculty of Arts and Sciences\n\n\n\nHarvard Law School International Human Rights Clinic\n\n\n\nHuman Rights Program\, Harvard Law School \n\n\n\nFeminist Collective of Romani Gender Experts\n\n\n\nWeatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University\n\n\n\nWomen\, Gender\, and Health (Harvard Chan School)\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 executive and continuing education\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Executive and Continuing Education

SUMMARY:Awe on the Margins: Youth Perspectives on the (im)possibilities of Human Flourishing

Yet little is known about where awe emerges in marginalized urban contexts\, who can access it\, and how it might disrupt structural inequality. This seminar asks: What would it take for us to be more honest with the lives we are living\, living on\, stepping over\, and forgetting? \n\n\n\nDrawing from the first year of a three-year youth participatory action research project with 20 Black and Brown high school students in Boston\, this work explores how youth make sense of\, complicate\, experience\, locate\, and mobilize awe. Through an after-school awe and flourishing literacy program\, students embarked on awe excursions\, documented their insights\, and designed awe-inspiring spaces. This project cultivates healing\, civic engagement\, and bold visions for communal health equity. Together\, we will consider how “actionable awe” can transform “awe-ful” spaces into “awe-inspiring” ones and illuminate new pathways for collective flourishing. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Biography\n\n\n\nDr. Demond M. Hill is an Assistant Professor of Health Equity at Tufts University in the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Study and Human Development. His research\, grounded in transdisciplinary\, critical\, applied\, humanizing-based approaches\, focuses on the mental health and well-being of marginalized children\, youth\, and their families\, with a particular emphasis on Black populations. Dr. Hill collaborates with communities to promote and protect opportunities for awe\, belonging\, and human flourishing among Black and Brown communities within systemic inequality. His work centers marginalized communities’ voices and lived experiences and incorporates youth- and community-based participatory action approaches to identify and strengthen protective factors that inform policy and promote mental health equity. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n						\n							Dr. Demond Hill						\n					\n				Assistant Professor\, Tufts University\n			\n			\n												\n	\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLee Kum Sheung Center for Health and Happiness\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 executive and continuing education\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Executive and Continuing Education

Indeed\, the greatest burden of disease in the first 2 decades of life is related to mental health. This presents a great opportunity: Effective care for these diseases in childhood has the potential to mitigate and forestall later psychopathology (i.e.\, treatment as prevention). This talk will use data from a 30+ year psychiatric epidemiological study to demonstrate the ways in which this opportunity is often squandered contributing to misery\, morbidity\, and mortality in adulthood.  \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Copeland is a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Vermont and the Thomas M Achenbach Chair in Developmental Psychopathology. He was trained as a clinical psychologist at the University of Vermont and then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in psychiatric epidemiology at Duke University Medical Center. He is the principal investigator of the prospective\, longitudinal Great Smoky Mountains Study has been following 1420 participants in rural Appalachia for over 30 years to understand the long-term consequences of early adverse experiences and the development of mental illness. His research program has focused on understanding the developmental epidemiology of emotional and behavior problems across the lifespan. This work includes understanding the interplay between early adverse experiences and genetic vulnerability with other individual\, family\, and contextual characteristics.   \n\n\n\nHis research has been supported by NIMH\, NIDA\, NICHD\, NIA\, and the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation. This program of research has led to over 180 peer-reviewed manuscripts including publications in JAMA\, JAMA: Psychiatry\, the American Journal of Psychiatry\, Lancet Psychiatry\, American Journal of Public Health\, Molecular Psychiatry\, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Nature Communications. His work has been covered in such national news outlets as Slate\, the New York Times\, TIME magazine and CNN. Dr. Copeland was named on the Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher list in 2017\, 2019\, 2020\, 2021\, 2022\, 2023\, and 2024.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n							Bill Copeland\, PhD					\n				Mortality Statistics and Research Team\, Statistical Analysis and Surveillance Branch\, Division of Vital Statisti Thomas M.

In this seminar\, Jackson proposes a new method and software package to relax this often-unrealistic assumption\, using hidden states known as “phases.” This is motivated by applications such as modelling the duration of infections\, modelling time in a detectable state in cancer screening\, and modelling cognitive impairment in studies of ageing. \n\n\n\nChristopher Jackson is a Senior Statistician at the MRC Biostatistics Unit\, University of Cambridge. His research involves incorporating statistical methods in models to combine evidence to inform population health policy. His publications cover Bayesian evidence synthesis\, survival analysis\, multi-state modelling\, longitudinal data\, decision theory\, and model comparison. He has also developed several popular R packages\, and co-authored two textbooks\, “The BUGS Book” and “Value of Information for Healthcare Decision-Making.” \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n							Christopher Jackson					\n				Senior Statistician at the MRC Biostatistics Unit\, University of Cambridge\n			\n			\n					\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCenter for Health Decision Science\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 executive and continuing education\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Executive and Continuing Education

SUMMARY:Psychotropic Medication Safety in Pregnancy: Moving Beyond Malformation Risk

Historically\, research has focused on congenital malformations—paradigmatic harms in the shadow of the thalidomide catastrophe—but other unintended drug effects are equally important and pose distinct methodological challenges. This seminar will examine what we have learned about studying outcomes such as nonlive births and longterm neurodevelopment in children\, highlighting study design challenges\, potential biases\, and data issues that shape inferences about psychotropic medication safety in pregnancy.  \n\n\n\nBio: Krista Huybrechts is Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at Harvard Medical School and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She co-founded and co-directs the Harvard Program on Perinatal and Pediatric Pharmacoepidemiology (H4P). Her work\, which is funded primarily by the National Institutes of Health\, focuses on the use of advanced epidemiological and statistical methods applied mainly to large databases derived from health data collected in the context of routine medical care to help address the unique questions regarding benefit-risk trade-off for prescription medication use faced by women of reproductive age and pregnant women.   \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n						\n							Krista Huybrechts\, MS\, PhD						\n					\n				Professor of Medicine\, Harvard Medical School; Professor of Epidemiology\, Harvard T.H.

Matthews\, PhD\, FCAHS\, Canada Research Chair in Early Development and Health and Professor of Physiology\, Ob-Gyn and Medicine at the University of Toronto. Dr. Matthews will discuss “Discovery to intervention: The Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative.” \n\n\n\nThis event will be held in person (HSPH Bldg. 1\, 1302) and via Zoom. Lunch and refreshments provided! Register here \n\n\n\nTrainee meeting for students and postdocs immediately following the seminar\, 2-3 pm\, in 1306A! Come in-person to discuss research interests\, career plans\, and funding opportunities. RSVP here! \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nIt is well established that the environment during pregnancy can have a long-term impact on cardiometabolic and neurodevelopmental outcomes in offspring and increase risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in later life. There is growing evidence from preclinical studies and some clinical studies that the preconception period in both females and males and the early pregnancy phase are periods of high sensitivity to environmental perturbation. The Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative (HeLTI) was developed to translate new knowledge in the area of developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) and improve the health of mothers\, infants and children. The HeLTI consortium includes harmonized trials in Canada\, China\, India and South Africa designed to evaluate the impact of an integrated evidence-based intervention package\, delivered through the preconception\, pregnancy and postnatal period on\, 1) reducing adiposity and obesity\, and improving neurodevelopmental and cardiometabolic development in infants and children to 5-years of age and\, 2) improving maternal health and pregnancy outcomes. All trials have completed recruitment and combine harmonized data and biospecimen collection. The HeLTI-India trial will be described in detail. Findings from the HeLTI studies will have profound implications for public health policy but will also allow determination of the mechanisms that underlie intergenerational transmission. HeLTI is funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research and International funding agencies (India\, China and South Africa) and is partnered with WHO. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker\n\n\n\nStephen Matthews\, PhD\, FCAHS\, is Canada Research Chair in Early Development and Health\, Professor of Physiology\, Ob-Gyn and Medicine at the University of Toronto and a Senior Scientist at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute\, Sinai Health. He served as Chair of the Department of Physiology (UofT; 2007-2014). He is currently Director of Research at the Alliance for Human Development\, LTRI\, and Director of the Ontario Birth Study. Matthews is also the Canadian lead PI of the CIHR/DBT-funded Healthy Life Trajectories (HeLTI) trial in India. \n\n\n\nHis fundamental research program is determining mechanisms by which early interventions and exposures can impact long-term neurologic and endocrine function in offspring across multiple generations. With a focus on epigenetics\, his research team is determining the molecular mechanisms by which this occurs. In a parallel program\, his group is investigating drug and hormone transport mechanisms in the placenta and fetal brain\, with a focus on developing novel treatments to protect the developing fetal brain. \n\n\n\nProfessor Matthews is committed to translating fundamental research to improve human health. In addition to leadership of the HeLTI-India trial and the Ontario Birth Study\, he co-founded the MAVAN program\, which followed neurocognitive development in children following adverse early experience. He has secured over $40M in research funding\, published 265 full papers and has received >300 invitations to present his work around the world. He was elected a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (2019).  He has served as elected President of the Society for Reproductive Investigation. In 2015\, he co-founded DOHaD Canada and served as elected President (2018-23). \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n						\n							Stephen G.

SUMMARY:Screening for Major Diseases — Does it help?

This symposium is open to the public & is virtual only. \n\n\n\nSchedule of talks: \n\n\n\n1:00PM  Introducing the Cutter SymposiumAlbert Hofman\, MD\, PhD1:05PMThe Power of Colorectal Cancer ScreeningHermann Brenner\, MD. MPHAbstract: Over 30 years ago\, in 1993\, a groundbreaking analysis of the US National Polyp Study was published\, which suggested that colonoscopic removal of colorectal polyps was associated with an 88% reduction of colorectal cancer incidence. Since then\, numerous observational studies and randomized trials have confirmed effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening\, even though most of them substantially underestimated screening effects for various reasons. Large heterogeneity in introduction of and adherence to screening programs across countries in the last three decades is mirrored in large heterogeneity of trends in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. Modelling studies based on the accumulated evidence confirm that the vast majority of the approximately one million colorectal cancer deaths per year globally could be prevented by screening. 1:35PMControversies and Innovations in Screening for Prostate Cancer Lorelei Mucci\, ScD    Abstract: More than 1.6 million men across the globe are diagnosed with prostate cancer annually\, and it is the leading cause of cancer death in more than 50 countries. In randomized controlled trials\, screening with prostate specific antigen (PSA) has been shown to reduce cancer mortality over two decades. However\, PSA screening also has led to overdiagnosis of prostate cancers that have a low potential for metastasis and concomitant overtreatment of patients. What has ensued over the past two decades has been an active debate about the harms and benefits of screening\, guidelines that are often in conflict with one another\, and in the United States\, a substantial reduction in prostate cancer screening that is now tied to an uptake in incidence of metastatic prostate cancer. This talk will provide an overview of the history of PSA screening\, the evidence around risks and harms\, the controversies\, and recent innovations in approaches to accelerate a risk stratified approach to screening. 2:05PM       Diagnostics\, Screening\, and Surveillance in Pandemics Marc Lipsitch\, DPhilAbstract: This talk will describe challenges and opportunities for surveillance during large infectious disease events\, with lessons from COVID-19 and earlier pandemics. Active testing of population-based random samples provide numerous advantages over passive case detection in many situations\, while linked data on demographics\, severity\, and pathogen variant among other characteristics are far more valuable for decision making than the same data if unlinked. Better data can inform more efficient decisions about control measures that improve the ratio of disease control effectiveness to cost and disruption.2:35PMGeneral Discussion3:00PMClosing by Albert Hofman\n\n\n\nSpeakers will share their own perspectives; they do not speak for Harvard. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n							Hermann Brenner\, MD\, MPH					\n				Professor of Epidemiology\, Heidelberg University\, Scientific Coordinator\, National Cancer Prevention Graduate School\, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ)\, Heidelberg\, Germany\n			\n			\n												\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n						\n							Lorelei Mucci\, ScD						\n					\n				Professor of Epidemiology\, Head of the Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention Track\, Department of Epidemiology\, Harvard T.H.

Chan School of Public Health. Following the successful conferences held in Singapore in 2023 and 2024 and in Paris in 2025\, the 2026 conference will take place in Boston from September 30 to October 2\, 2026. \n\n\n\nThe 2026 meeting is co-organized by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health\, GloW at NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine\, Stanford University School of Medicine\, and the Institute for Women and Interdisciplinary Research in Science and Health (iWISH) at Université Paris Cité. The conference will highlight cutting-edge advances shaping women’s health across the life course. \n\n\n\nDespite increasing global attention\, women’s health remains under-researched and underfunded in many critical domains. Women experience unique biological transitions—from puberty and pregnancy to menopause and aging—that shape lifelong health trajectories. Addressing these complexities requires coordinated\, interdisciplinary\, and global collaboration. \n\n\n\nThis conference will convene leading scientists\, clinicians\, innovators\, policymakers\, and global organizations to accelerate solutions that improve health outcomes for women worldwide. \n\n\n\nThe scientific program will feature: \n\n\n\n\nBreakthroughs in precision nutrition and lifestyle medicine\n\n\n\nAdvances in fertility\, pregnancy\, and reproductive health\n\n\n\nNew approaches to mental health and brain health\n\n\n\nHealthy aging\, cognition\, and cardiometabolic health\n\n\n\nThe expanding role of AI and femtech in diagnosis\, treatment\, and prevention\n\n\n\nGlobal women’s health and health equity\n\n\n\n\nThe program will include plenary lectures\, thematic panels\, poster sessions\, lightning talks by junior investigators\, and a special session featuring international organizations and foundations focused on sustaining global investment in women’s health research. \n\n\n\nThe conference will conclude with a half-day symposium commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS)\, the largest and longest-running study of women’s health\, established in 1976. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to join us in-person or on livestream (via Zoom).*Please note that no certificates of attendance will be provided* \n\n\n\n\nIn-Person Registration\n\n\n\nLivestream Registration\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract Submission\n\n\n\n\n\nCall for abstracts: Submit your abstract for a chance to present a poster or give a flash talk.
