Forging a community of global health researchers at OHSU
Conversations in Global Health
Our quarterly series focuses on the increasing overlap within global health, pediatrics, and infectious diseases at OHSU.
Conversation is the key word the Center's founder and co-director David Lewinsohn, M.D., Ph.D. says. This is essential to the Center's mission, which is to bring a collaborative spirit to global health across OHSU. From choice of location to the format's with two presenters the seminar series is designed to start the dialogue necessary to foster these points of connection among global health researchers.

Conferences, Symposia, and Grand Rounds
2019
The third PacTB Symposium
The third annual PacTB meeting was held in Portland, Oregon on March 21-22, 2019.
The Pacific Tuberculosis Pathogenesis and Host-Response Research Retreat was started in 2017 by the Center for Emerging and Neglected Diseases at UC Berkeley. PacTB is designed to provide a yearly forum for the West Coast TB research community to come together for the common goal of understanding, diagnosing, treating and preventing tuberculosis. The last two years have been huge successes (links below).
