The Center for Global Health Equity’s 2022-2023 Academic Year Seminar Series will feature global health luminaries from around the world. The goals of these conversations are to provide audience members with an intimate glimpse of the professional and personal journeys of key global health advocates, critical challenges they see in the field, and how academic centers can contribute to relevant solutions.

Dr. Banerjee’s global work focuses on the utilization of machine learning and modeling approaches to optimize healthcare quality and ensure equitable delivery of care, specifically for women and in communities where disparities in healthcare outcomes can be reduced. As COVID-19 arrived in her home country of India over two years ago, Banerjee stepped into new roles as a go-to expert—offering advice to heads of state, appearing on international news shows, and organizing charitable giving.

Dr. Banerjee will discuss her experiences in India and Bangladesh that led to a transformation in how she understands her role in global public health. Banerjee will share how her trip to India in spring 2021, when the country was ravaged by its worst Covid wave, was the first time she truly saw the human side of the data she engages with daily as a biostatistician and how this has forever changed her approach to her work.
