Worldwide Week at Harvard showcases the remarkable breadth of Harvard’s global engagement. During Worldwide Week, Harvard Schools, research centers, departments, and student organizations host academic and cultural events with global or international themes.
CCDD Director Dr. Marc Lipsitch is the invited speaker at the Digital Health @ Harvard Series. He will talk about the Simulation and Deliberation to Prepare for Clinical Trials in Infectious Disease Emergencies. The event is free to the public, but registration is required.
CCDD will hold the 7th Annual Conference to Increase Diversity in Mathematical Modeling and Public Health on November 29-30, 2018. 63 undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students from around the US will come together in Boston for this 1,5 day event. You can read more about the Conference here.
