Learn about a new global health topic at our quarterly Research Speaker Series.
The Global Health Research Speaker series welcomes four IU Center for Global Health Equity affiliated faculty members for our quarterly events at the Regenstrief Institute.
Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Indiana University School of Medicine
"Breaking down silos: a story of how cross-disciplinary collaboration transformed our understanding of severe malaria"
In this session, Dr. Conroy will discuss how interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary collaboration has transformed the field of severe malaria, leading to the recognition of acute kidney injury as an important clinical complication associated with increased mortality. These findings led to a call to update World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines formally recognizing kidney injury using definitions appropriate for children. Finally, we will discuss new biomarkers on the horizon and how they can be implemented in resource-limited settings.
Dr. Conroy is associate professor of pediatric infectious disease and global health in the Department of Pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine. Dr. Conroy's research centers on understanding the impact of infections on global women’s and children’s health. Her goal is to develop new tools to identify patients at risk of adverse clinical outcomes who may benefit from targeted therapies. She received her training at the University of Toronto in a translational global health research environment focusing on malaria pathogenesis and the development of new therapeutics for severe malaria. Dr. Conroy has been leading research projects in Uganda since 2011 and is the director of the CHILD laboratory in Kampala, Uganda, which is an Indiana University-Makerere University-Global Health Uganda biomedical research lab.
