Accelerated Pathways and Evidentiary Thresholds: Global Health R&D in the Age of Emergency
Dr. Ann Kelly<https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/ann-kelly>, King's College London.
Abstract
This presentation interrogates emerging paradigm of global health: emergency R&D. Through the notion of the 'evidentiary threshold', I explore how the humanitarian imperatives of disease control and regulatory apprehensions of risk play out playing the accelerated development, testing and licensure of medical interventions. Using case studies from the Ebola and Zika outbreaks I explores the suite of issues that have come to characterise emergency R&D, from the commitment to data sharing, to access and testing of samples. Critical reflection on the successes and failures in rapidly bringing fit-for-purpose products to the market provides critical insight into the forms of exceptionalism attendant to emergency R&D, and the potential blindspots this agenda might introduce into the field of global health innovation.
This seminar series is supported by the LSHTM Anthropology and Sociology Hub<https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/centres-projects-groups/anthropology-sociology-hub>.
