Growing up, Associate Professor Meru Sheel saw infectious diseases make people very sick. This is how she became a 'disease detective'.
Raised in India, epidemiologist Dr Meru Sheel witnessed the impact of diseases such as polio and tuberculosis first-hand. Today, Meru's detective work analyses the patterns of infectious outbreaks like measles and COVID-19 and how vaccines can prevent these.
However, Meru found major barriers to disease prevention in resource-limited settings in the Asia-Pacific and the Caribbean. These barriers stem from global inequity in our health systems.
Join the disease detective for a fascinating talk on how infectious diseases work and what clues are used to investigate their spread. Find out how we can build systems to ensure everyone in the world has a right to health.
