Dr. Michael Mina: Shaping the Future of Global Health

Feb 26, 2026

Our Global Health Fellows were joined by public health masters students from the Geisel School of Medicine for a conversation with Michael Mina ’06, MD, PhD, renowned epidemiologist and physician whose work sits at the cutting edge of disease prevention.

The discussion spanned the vital intersections of immunology, vaccine development, and rationale uses of public health tools and approaches. Dr. Mina shared insights from his career on how data-driven innovation and proactive prevention strategies can reshape how we protect populations worldwide.

For our students it was a masterclass in how scientific rigor meets real-world impact, and an inspiration to this next generation of public health leaders.
