A conversation with John McConnell, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal
Thursday 11 June 2020 | 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm BST
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our working and personal lives like no other event in recent memory. An unprecedented level of research over the past five months has advanced knowledge of the disease, but many uncertainties remain.
In this Q&A, John McConnell, Editor of The Lancet Infectious Diseases, will attempt to separate the knowns from the unknowns of COVID-19 and speculate on how the pandemic might evolve in the UK and elsewhere, including the developing world.
This webinar will be moderated by Mahmood Ahmed, Chairman of the Aga Khan Foundation UK National Committee.
John McConnell is the Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal. He studied clinical microbiology and parasitology at the University of East London, before spending six years researching septic-shock-related topics at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith Hospital, London (now part of Imperial College London).
He joined The Lancet in 1990 and was a peer-review editor before becoming the first editor of the journal’s website in 1996. In 2001, John McConnell was the founding editor of The Lancet Infectious Diseases. He has been a member of the organising committee of numerous conferences, and has appeared as an expert commentator on BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky News, Al Jazeera, CNBC, CNN, and CCTV America.
