CEID Faculty Dr. David Hamer To Serve As Interim Director
Dear CEID Community,
We write to congratulate our Founding Director, Dr. Nahid Bhadelia, who has joined the White House COVID-19 Response Team as senior policy advisor for global COVID-19 response. We also want to share that Dr. Bhadelia will be on sabbatical for the duration of this full-time position.
During this interim period, CEID will continue its critical work under the leadership of Dr. David Hamer, who will serve as CEID’s Interim Director. Dr. Hamer has been faculty at CEID since its inception and he brings decades of global public health and infectious diseases experience. He will continue to work with our team to move forward the projects currently under way and to expand our partnerships.
Last month, we celebrated the one year anniversary of the founding of CEID and we are immensely grateful for your support of our work and mission over the past year. As the pandemic continues and we are faced with new challenges, our mission of building resilience against pandemics through equity remains at the core of what we do as a center. We look forward to your continued support as we enter this new chapter.
Sincerely,
The CEID Team
