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.

Edctp Fellow Awarded Wellcome Leap Grant For Tb Research
EDCTP Career Development Fellow Dr Virginie Rozot, a research officer at the South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative (SATVI), has been awarded a multi‑year contract under Wellcome Leap’s Delta Tissue (∆T) programme. Her research will investigate how the human immune system responds to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the thoracic lymph nodes, and why these responses sometimes fail, allowing the bacteria to spread to other organs. The findings are expected to inform future TB vaccine design and vaccination strategies.
