EffiSciences organise une conférence en ligne : The Changing Climate of Infectious Diseases
Climate change is reshaping the landscape of infectious diseases, with profound implications for human health. Local effects of a warming planet—like shorter winters, shifting precipitation, and more extreme weather events—are driving shifts in pathogens and vectors responsible for severe infections. These changes are blurring traditional boundaries of disease transmission, altering seasonal patterns, and creating opportunities for new pathogens to emerge.
Join us on Tuesday, December 10th, from 6 PM to 8 PM (CET) for an enlightening talk by Dr. Matthew Phillips, MD, PhD, a physician-scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Phillips, with his unique expertise in infectious diseases, Marine and Atmospheric Science, microbiology, and immunology, will explore how climate change impacts vector-borne, zoonotic, and waterborne diseases, and how it contributes to the rise of novel human pathogens.
Topics covered:
- Climate change’s role in the emergence of new pathogens
- The intersection of human, animal, and environmental health
- The rise of antimicrobial resistance due to environmental shifts
📅 Date: Tuesday, December 10th
⏰ Time: 6 PM - 8 PM CET
