Featuring Matthew Holt
Author, The Health Care Blog
Co-Chairman, Health 2.0: Conference, the Media Network, the Innovation Community
Matthew Holt has spent around 20 years in health care as a researcher, generalist forecaster, and strategist. He’s conducted in-depth studies about the health care market, information technology and policy for public release and private clients. He learned from some of the best in forecasting, policy and survey organizations, like Institute for the Future and Harris Interactive. But these days he’s best known as the author of The Health Care Blog and as the co-founder of the Health2.0 Conference.
The Health 2.0 Conference is the leading showcase of cutting-edge innovation transforming the health care system. Since its beginning in 2007, Health 2.0 has served as a community resource for search and online tools to help consumers manage their health and connect to providers. Now that the industry has caught up, Health 2.0 covers the entire cloud, web, mobile and unplatforms technology revolution that is shaking up every sector of health care.

Title: Phone-based Tools for Community Health Workers
By: Neal Lesh, Chief Strategy Officer, Dimagi Inc.
Abstract: It is increasingly possible to apply computer innovation to improve aspects of health care delivery in low-income countries. In this talk, I will provide an overview of some recent efforts in ‘eHealth’ and ‘mHealth’. I will then present our experiences with implementing CommCare, a phone based tool for Community Health Workers over the last four years in sub-Saharan Africa and India. I will provide an overview of the tool, and then discuss challenges, lessons learned, and some recent successes.
| Recommended Readings: |
About the Speaker: Dr. Neal Lesh is the Chief Strategy Officer of Dimagi, Inc. He received a PhD in computer science from the University of Washington in 1998 and a Master in Public Health from the Harvard School of Public Health. From 2005-2009, he lived in East and Southern Africa, working on information systems for projects including large-scale AIDS treatment programs, rural hospitals, and research projects. His primary focus now is on the CommCare project, a phone-based tool for use by community health works in low-income countries. Jason Karlawish will read from Open Wound and lead a discussion of the ethical and social challenges that continue to shape contemporary researchers as they labor to advance both science and their careers. His book will be on sale for him to sign afterward.
The program is free and open to the public. Registration is required in order to attend the post-reading reception at 7:30pm

A talk by Daniel E. Everitt, MD
Dr. Everitt serves as Senior Medical Officer and works with the clinical development of
products in the portfolio of the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development (TB Alliance).
Prior to joining the TB Alliance, he spent 10 years in Johnson & Johnson’s pharmaceutical
sector. There, Dr. Everitt served in various roles, including as Vice President and Global
Head of Clinical Pharmacology and Experimental Medicine at Johnson & Johnson
Pharmaceutical Research and Development, and as Vice President of Safety Governance.
Before working at Johnson & Johnson, Dr. Everitt spent 10 years in clinical research and
development at SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals. For six years, he was an
Investigator in the Clinical Pharmacology Research Unit based at the University of
Pennsylvania, and subsequently led Phase 2-4 development projects based in Harlow,
United Kingdom, in the areas of neurosciences and anti-infectives.
Dr. Everitt gained his undergraduate degree from Duke University and his medical degree
from Harvard Medical School. After an Internal Medicine residency at the Massachusetts
General Hospital, he was a Fellow at Harvard in Geriatric Medicine and Clinical
Epidemiology. Dr. Everitt is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Geriatric Medicine and
Clinical Pharmacology. He served on the faculty of departments of medicine at Harvard
Medical School and at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2011, Dr. Everitt completed
training and received a Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene from the London School
of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Just prior to joining the TB Alliance in June, 2011,
Dr. Everitt spent several months as a volunteer physician working in mission hospitals in
Kenya. He is an author or co-author of 50 publications in peer-reviewed journals in the
fields of Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacoepidemiology.

12:00 p.m. luncheon; 12:30 p.m. lecture
The Atrium at the Annenberg Public Policy Center
202 South 36th Street
Dr. Hannah Faye C. Chua, Research Associate, School of Public Health, University of Michigan
“Neural Mechanisms of Persuasive Communications and Behavior Change”
Recent advances have brought together neuroscience techniques with communication research, creating the birth of communication neuroscience. In this presentation, Dr. Chua will discuss her recent research exploring how neural and psychological mechanisms are involved in processing persuasive tailored messages related to tobacco cessation and how these mechanisms are related to behavior change. Do differences in how people respond to communication messages influence their behavior a few months after? Are there potential genetic influences on how people's brains respond to tailored messages? We use tailored smoking cessation messages in smokers to examine some of these neural and psychological mechanisms.
Lunch will be provided
Seating is limited! Please RSVP by Monday, October 31

If you have ever thought about working in industry and applying your research knowledge to identify potential drugs that can be used in the treatment of diseases, then it will help to understand a little about the life cycle of a drug candidate from the perspective of a pharmaceutical company. You will find this type of information to be helpful as you put together your application materials and prepare for interviews for any industry position you might be interested in.
Whether working in industry is your Plan A, Plan B, or Plan C, consider attending the Pfizer Info Session and networking event on the 10th November, and take this opportunity to learn about the organizational structure of Pfizer's Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disease (CVMED) Research Unit, and how someone with your level of expertise would fit into this work environment where drug discovery is a high priority. One of the leading members of the CVMED Research Unit will give a presentation about Pfizer's approach to drug discovery, and will participate in a discussion panel where some of the frequently asked questions from PhD students and postdocs interested in performing research in industry will be answered. There will also be a opportunity for you to get your own questions answered in a Q&A session, and then to network with researchers and recruiters from Pfizer after the information session.
That is a lot of opportunities for you to get information to help you apply for industry jobs, or to figure out if working in industry is right for you. If you are interested in attending this information session and networking event, then please register for this event by following this link: www.surveymonkey.com/s/pfizer-penn
Careers in Biomedical Grant Management
Tuesday, Nov. 15
4:00 - 5:30 pm, Ben Franklin Room (Room 218), Houston Hall
Featuring Anita Pepper, Ph.D., Manager, Pew Programs in the Biomedical Sciences, The Pew Charitable Trusts
Dr. Anita Pepper, a former Penn postdoc in the Department of Genetics, will discuss why nontraditional or alternative careers for Ph.D.s in biomedical science should now be considered anything but nontraditional or alternative. She will address the often overlooked point that trained scientists acquire skill sets that are required for many jobs outside of academia that can be fulfilling, intellectually challenging and have a broad impact on the world at large.
Graduate students, postdocs, and alumni of Penn graduate programs are welcome to attend.
