With Dr Satyajit Rath and Ariane Abreu

Join Indian immunologist Dr Satyajit Rath in a conversation with Brazilian public health expert Ariane Abreu on the Covid-19 trajectory and its parallels with other pandemics.

Navigating through the clutter of information on whether omicron is the end of the pandemic, Dr Rath and Ariane discuss the limitations and blindspots of such widely disseminated discourses when considering such stark differences in the availability of health data and resources across and within countries. They try to interpret the Covid-19 virus trends in light of past experiences, how governments have responded to it and who are those most affected by it.

Dr Satyajit Rath is an eminent immunologist, physician and pathologist. After acting as a professor and scientist from the National Institute of Immunology in India for two and a half decades and as a research fellow and associate in different universities across the world, he is now an honorary faculty member at the Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research in Pune.

Ariane Abreu is currently a real-world evidence principal at IQVIA. She has a bachelor’s degree in public health and master’s in evaluation of health technologies. She is specialised in pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacoeconomic for observational and clinical studies. Previously she worked as a researcher at the Epidemiology and Clinical Research Department of the International Vaccine Institute (IVI) focusing on global health, advocacy and neglected tropical diseases.
