A visionary leader in tuberculosis control and vaccines will speak about Health Challenges for Research in the 21st Century at a free public lecture. Lee Jong-wook, M.D., M.P.H., is Director-General of the World Health Organization.

Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Lee led polio eradication initiatives in the Western Pacific, led a global campaign to catalyze the development of new and improved vaccines for children, and built the internationally recognized Global Partnership to Stop TB, a complex public-private coalition of more than 250 international partners.

The lecture is the fourth annual David E. Barmes Global Health Lecture, honoring Dr. Barmes, a special expert for international health in NIDCR's Office of International Health. FIC and NIDCR jointly sponsor this lecture series.
