SUMMARY:We’re In This Together: Science and the Fight for Global Health
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It has been more than three months since the first lockdown measures were introduced in the United States\, and many states and communities are now in the process of reopening. The precautions have helped flatten the curve\, but the coronavirus is still spreading at home and around the globe. COVID-19 will continue to spread until a vaccine has been found. \nJoin us for a virtual discussion on Thursday\, June 11\, at 11:00 am ET on “We’re In This Together: Science and the Fight for Global Health” with Dr. Kathrin U. Jansen\, Senior Vice President and Head of Vaccine Research and Development for Pfizer Inc.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_xcHeoVkxSfu9CMC7crXSfA%20|||” css=”.vc_custom_1591795517653{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Kathrin U. Jansen\, PhD\, is Senior Vice President and Head of Vaccine Research and Development at Pfizer Inc\, and a member of Pfizer’s Worldwide Research and Development leadership team. She oversees a fully integrated\, global vaccines research and development organization\, with responsibilities ranging from discovery to registration and post-marketing commitments of first-in-class or best-in-class vaccines to prevent or treat diseases of significant unmet medical need. More recent accomplishments are the global licensures of Prev(e)nar13® to prevent pneumococcal diseases and the development and licensure of Trumenba®\, the first vaccine licensed in the United States to prevent invasive disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B. \nDr. Jansen received her doctoral degree in microbiology\, biochemistry & genetics from Phillips Universität\, Marburg\, Germany. Following completion of her formal training\, she continued her postdoctoral training at Cornell University working on the structure and function of the acetylcholine receptor. She then joined the Glaxo Institute for Molecular Biology in Geneva\, Switzerland\, where she focused on basic studies of a receptor believed to be a drug target to treat allergies. Dr. Jansen was appointed an Adjunct Professor at the University of Pennsylvania – School of Medicine in 2010. \nBefore the Wyeth acquisition by Pfizer in 2009\, Dr. Jansen served as Senior Vice President at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals and on Wyeth’s Research and Development Executive Committee since 2006 and was responsible for vaccine discovery\, early development and clinical testing operations. Dr. Jansen also briefly worked at Vaxgen as Chief Scientific Officer and Senior Vice President for Research and Development with responsibility for the company’s late stage development programs. Prior to joining Vaxgen\, Dr. Jansen spent 12 years at Merck Research Laboratories where she directed or supported a number of vaccine efforts\, including Merck’s novel bacterial vaccine programs and viral vaccine programs (rotavirus\, zoster and mumps\, measles and rubella). Dr. Jansen initiated and led the development of Gardasil®\, the world’s first cervical cancer vaccine.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
