Presented by: 

Salvatore Pablo Lucia Distinguished Lecture Series and Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics

 

Dr. George Rutherford will chair a panel with several academic and public health leaders to discuss how the pandemic will likely evolve, including discussions of variants and their emergence, durability of immunity from natural infection and vaccination and the likelihood of long-term behavioral changes. What will the winter hold? Will the Ukrainian refugee crisis trigger a secondary wave in Central and Eastern Europe? What will the role of antivirals and monoclonal antibodies be in the control of the pandemic?

 

The annual Salvatore Pablo Lucia Memorial Lectureship in Preventive Medicine will ask these and other questions to a distinguished panel of experts, including Professor Lee Riley from the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley, Professor Peter Chin-Hong from the Department of Medicine at UCSF, and Dr. Erica Pan, the California State Epidemiologist from the California Department of Public Health.
