I will be moderating the program. I am Distinguished Professor of Public Health and Medical Anthropology in the School of Public Health, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, and I hold appointments also with Brown University, US, and Monash University, Australia. My current work on inequality includes a major study of the complexity of informal caregiving for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in rural South Africa; I am also working on anti-microbial resistance, assisted reproduction, and of course COVID. www.lenoremanderson.com 

I will be joined by my co-editors of Viral Loads, Nancy J Burke and Ayo Wahlburg.  Nancy is Professor of Public Health and Anthropology and John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Endowed Chair, University of California, Merced. She also serves as Co-Director of the UC-Cuba Academic Initiative. Her current research includes projects focused on aging in Cuba, syndemic care for high-cost, high-utilising safety-net patients in the United States, and cancer patient navigation programmes in US public hospitals. Ayo is Professor MSO at the Department of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen. His research has focused on reproductive and genetic technologies (in China and Denmark), traditional herbal medicine (in Vietnam and the United Kingdom), and health. He currently leads a 5-year European Research Council (2015-2020) project ‘The Vitality of Disease.’
