His work is focused on developing effective strat egies for the control these infectious diseases using a combination of fi eld\, trial and theoretical techniques. Much of his work is focused on im munity in individuals and populations and its impact on the ecology\, evo lution and transmission dynamics of pathogens. His recent work includes a study of the phylodynamics and antigenic landscapes of dengue viruses in Thailand\, a randomized trial of mosquito interventions against dengue i n Brazil\, work to characterize serological responses to SARS-CoV-2 and s tudies of the immune landscapes of human influenza in Southern China (the FluScape study).\n\nSpeaker:\nDerek Cummings\, PhD\n\nAdmission:\nFree\n \nDetails URL:\nhttps://medicine.yale.edu/event/ysph-emd-seminar-series-1 9/\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220216T130000 DTSTAMP:20260628T194333Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220216T120000 RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:20220216T120000 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar Series Brandon Brei Memorial Lecture: "Antigenic and Genetic Evolution of Dengue Viruses" UID:1e1f35e2-bcba-4cf1-8d43-0a9de0a232f2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shenoi will describe the role of TB preventive therapy in global tuberculosis control\, barriers to implementation\, community-base d strategies to improve implementation\, and a randomized controlled tria l underway comparing TPT regimens.\n\nSpeaker:\nSheela Shenoi\n\nAdmissio n:\nFree\n\nDetails URL:\nhttps://medicine.yale.edu/event/ysph-emd-semina r-series-20/\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220223T130000 DTSTAMP:20260628T194333Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220223T120000 RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:20220223T120000 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar Series: “Implementation of Tuberculosis Preventiv e Therapy" UID:1e1f35e2-bcba-4cf1-8d43-0a9de0a232f2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:Dr. Elijah Paintsil is a Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious D iseases)\, Pharmacology\, Public Health\, and Management at Yale Universi ty.

TB case notifications have plummeted because of pandemic-r elated disruptions in services and tuberculosis mortality has increased. Because of vaccine inequity\, new variants of SARS-CoV-2 (such as omicron ) are emerging and particularly affect countries with low vaccine coverag e and high rates of poverty and TB. Ending the Covid-19 pandemic quickly is critical for rebuilding TB services and other essential health service s. To end the pandemic\, we must end the vaccine apartheid.\n\nSpeaker:\n Madhukar Pai\, MD\, PhD\n\nAdmission:\nFree\n\nDetails URL:\nhttps://medi cine.yale.edu/event/ysph-emd-seminar-series-22/\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220309T130000 DTSTAMP:20260628T194333Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220309T120000 RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:20220309T120000 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar Series: World TB Day- "COVID-19’s Devastating Eff ect on Tuberculosis Care — The Path to Recovery Must Address Vaccine Apar theid" UID:1e1f35e2-bcba-4cf1-8d43-0a9de0a232f2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:New pneumococcal conjugate vaccines have recently been approve d for use in adults in the US.

In this talk\, I will des cribe the causal impact framework as a way of considering how to translat e epidemiologic and scientific findings to decisions about public health policy. The causal impact framework considers first internal validity\; t hen external validity\; then population intervention impact\; and (someti mes) cost-effectiveness analysis. The causal impact framework shows one w ay forward to making epidemiologic findings more relevant to implementati on science\, and likewise ways in which the epidemiologist can more effec tively coordinate with both health behaviorists and health policy scienti sts.\n\nSpeaker:\nDaniel Westreich\, PhD\n\nAdmission:\nFree\n\nDetails U RL:\nhttps://medicine.yale.edu/event/ysph-emd-seminar-series-28/\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220420T130000 DTSTAMP:20260628T194333Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220420T120000 RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:20220420T120000 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar Series: "BEYOND INTERNAL VALIDITY: Field notes fr om the methodological borderlands" UID:1e1f35e2-bcba-4cf1-8d43-0a9de0a232f2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:Global agriculture is at its critical point in the history of humanity. With the world currently at 10 C warmer than pre-industrial lev els and projections to reach 1.50 C by 2030\, there is a call for urgent actions. Within this context\, livestock must be part of the climate smar t agriculture and used to create solutions to mitigation and adaptation t o climate change. In addition\, livestock development is a key contributo r for the delivery of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. H owever\, tropical livestock production systems are currently the least pr oductive. The low level of productivity is attributable to a range of fac tors primarily associated with limited genetic improvement. Our work is f ocused on the development and application of innovative tools\, systems a nd capacities to contribute to sustainable and resilient livestock-driven food systems in Africa and other Low and middle income countries (LMICs) .\n\nSpeaker:\nAppolinaire Djikeng\, PhD\n\nAdmission:\nFree\n\nDetails U RL:\nhttps://medicine.yale.edu/event/ysph-emd-seminar-series-30/\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220330T130000 DTSTAMP:20260628T194333Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220330T120000 RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:20220330T120000 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar Series: “Livestock Genetic Improvement for Buildi ng Resilient Food Systems in Africa/Low- and Middle-Income Countries” UID:1e1f35e2-bcba-4cf1-8d43-0a9de0a232f2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:Passive transfer experiments established the protective role o f antibody in immunity against malaria over half a century ago. The inhib ition of erythrocyte invasion is widely assumed to be the best correlate of protection. We demonstrate the power of naturally acquired immunity in contemporary controlled human malaria infection studies. We show that th e breadth of IgG Fc-dependent activity is a much stronger predictor of pr otection. Our data suggest that a functional-Fc-antibody driven approach to malaria vaccine development may be beneficial.\n\nSpeaker:\nFaith Osie r\, PhD\n\nAdmission:\nFree\n\nDetails URL:\nhttps://medicine.yale.edu/ev ent/ysph-emd-seminar-series-31/\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220427T130000 DTSTAMP:20260628T194333Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220427T120000 RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:20220427T120000 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar Series: "Fc-dependent IgG parasite clearance as a guide for vaccine development against P. falciparum malaria" UID:1e1f35e2-bcba-4cf1-8d43-0a9de0a232f2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:\nAdmission:\nFree\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220216T130000 DTSTAMP:20260628T194333Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220216T120000 RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20220428T035959Z;BYDAY=WE SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:YSPH EMD Seminar Series UID:1e1f35e2-bcba-4cf1-8d43-0a9de0a232f2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
