Epidemic Ethics – Indigenous communities, ‘vulnerability’,
and the COVID-19 pandemic
20 June 2022 | 13:00 (BST), 12:00 (GMT)
Indigenous
populations experience both social and economic marginalization, and as a
result are at disproportionate risk during public health emergencies. This webinar
will explore ethical challenges experienced by Indigenous populations during
the COVID-19 pandemic, how 'vulnerabilities' are portrayed and experienced in
this context, and the role that traditional knowledge and practices have played
as a source of resiliency.

research methodology most suitable for your research topic and our panel will
walk us through their journeys into research, sharing those tips that they wish
to have known when they started.
This
session aims to inspire nurses and midwives to get involved in research and

Virtual Workshop: Recognition And Control Of Mtb Infected Cells: From Basics To The Clinic | 13 – 14June 2023
The Stop
TB Partnership Working Group on New TB Vaccines (WGNV) and the National
Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)are
co-hosting a workshop on the topic of Recognition and Control of Mtb
Infected Cells: From Basics to the Clinic. This workshop is intended to address
the need for correlates and to identify platforms that measure recognition or
control of the infected cell - especially in humans - as identified in the EDCTP/AIGHD Global Roadmap for
Research and Development of New TB Vaccines and the Strategic Framework for
New TB Vaccines in the Stop TB Partnership Global Plan to End TB 2023 - 2030.
The overall goals of this workshop
are to:
- elucidate the mechanisms by
which the immune system recognizes the Mtb-infected cell
- explore the degree to which
such recognition can lead to control of the intracellular microbe, and
- discuss the translational
implications of these observations
The workshop format will be largely
discussion-based. Each session will have three short presentations that will
provide a high-level overview of key topics within the session theme, followed
by a discussion between the session chairs, speakers, and participants.
