You know their names, but you don’t know their whole story. Join the IDSA Foundation as we take you on a journey to meet four ID mavericks whose life’s work has saved countless lives and will continue to save lives for generations to come. Over the coming weeks, we’ll share in-depth stories of the lives and achievements of four ID physicians in our new series, “Women of ID: Honoring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future.”
What does it take to stop a global epidemic? Research and the power of the ID Specialist. Advances in infectious diseases research have helped to increase humanity’s life expectancy rate; led to the eradication of smallpox and changed the face of HIV/AIDS from a death sentence to a manageable chronic disease. That’s why we continue to invest in ID research to find more – and better – treatments, uncover facts and improve patients' quality of life.
All of us are vulnerable to infectious diseases, from drug-resistant superbugs to the next influenza pandemic. Since its inception, the IDSA Foundation has taken major steps to reduce the devastating impact infectious diseases have had on humanity by empowering the next generation of leaders, investing in research, and advocating for patient care.
