Barry R. Bloom, Dean of the Harvard School of Public Health will present the 2006 Barmes lecture, "Agendas and Architecture of Global Health Research." Dr. Bloom is widely recognized as a scientist in the areas of infectious diseases, vaccines, and international health. He served as a consultant to the White House on International Health Policy from 1977 to 1978, was elected President of the American Association of Immunologists in 1984, and served as President of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology in 1985.

This annual lecture series honors the late David E. Barmes, a long-standing World Health Organization employee, special expert for international health in the NIDCR Office of International Health, and ardent spokesman for global health. The series was established in 2001 to recognize his lifelong dedication to research as a means to improve health for those in low-income countries.
