Meagan Barry, MD, PhD, CTropMed

I graduated from the Medical Scientist Training Program at Baylor College of Medicine with a PhD in Translational Biology and Molecular Medicine. My thesis project was to develop a vaccine for Chagas disease using a mouse model of disease.  During my training, I completed a Diploma in Tropical Medicine from Baylor College of Medicine and received the Certificate of Knowledge in Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers' Health (CTropMed) from the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. I completed my residency in Emergency Medicine at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University as a Brown Residency International/Global Health Training (BRIGHT) scholar and with a Distinction in Research. During residency I served on the SAEM Residents and Medical Students (RAMS) board as a Member-at-Large. As a Global Emergency Medicine Fellow, my work investigates the impact of maternal schistosomiasis and hookworm infection on the maternal and infant microbiomes and on resulting infant health outcomes. 

 

During my tenure as the SAEM Program Committee Liaison I will be an advocate for academic Global Emergency Medicine within SAEM. In particular, I will strive to represent and promote the incredible diversity of research that our members accomplish. Additionally, I want to help strengthen the GEMA community now that we are fortunate to be able to meet again in person. Specifically, by being able to meet in a social setting during the SAEM Annual Meeting, the GEMA community can form new collaborations and spark innovative science.
