On August 28, the Pandemic Center at Brown University honored its inaugural class of Game Changers Fellows with a virtual graduation ceremony. Comprising eight researchers who have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to preventing and preparing for high-stakes global health security challenges, the first cohort’s achievements were recognized at the event by an international audience, highlighting the far-reaching impact of their work.
The Game Changers Fellowship was designed and is led by Wilmot James and Beth Cameron, senior advisors to the Pandemic Center and professors of the practice of health services, policy and practice at the Brown University School of Public Health.
“Today is an auspicious day,” Cameron said during her welcoming remarks. “We are celebrating the achievements of these eight incredible humans whom we have gotten to know over the course of the year. They have come together in support of biological threat reduction to build a much larger network, touching people around the world through their efforts in this program.”
