Global Access in Action: Conversations in Global Health, Innovation, & the Digital World
Recent advances in several unrelated fields -- miniature mass spectrometry; artificial intelligence; and drug databases – may soon radically increase the ability of public-health workers to assess the chemical composition of pharmaceutical products rapidly, cheaply, and “in the field.” This potential, in turn, offers a variety of ways in which vaccines and medicines could be distributed more efficiently to poor patients in developing countries.
William Fisher, Harvard Law School Professor of Intellectual Property Law and Faculty Director, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, will discuss these possibilities and a pilot project in Namibia designed to test them.
