The first-floor classroom is empty inside the Boston University School of Medicine on a gray and chilly May morning in the South End. The whiteboard is marked up from earlier instruction and the only sound is the hum of fluorescent lights overhead. With an audience of one, and from behind her blue mask, Nahid Bhadelia slips on one hat after another, pivoting seamlessly from healthcare policy wonk to infectious diseases physician to MED associate professor to expert researcher in highly communicable diseases.<\/p>\n

Listening to her, it\u2019s easy to see why Bhadelia is such a sought-after expert voice on the coronavirus pandemic\u2014no question, no subject, is out of her comfort zone.<\/p>\n

With so many roles, it\u2019s difficult to imagine Bhadelia finding time for another. But, in fact, she\u2019s poised to take on perhaps her most ambitious professional challenge yet. On June 1, BU will launch the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases Policy & Research (CEID), with Bhadelia as its founding director. The center\u2019s purpose is to marry technical expertise in emerging infectious diseases\u2014like COVID-19, Zika, and Ebola\u2014with policy research and to provide recommendations to governments, communities, and academic institutions to help them prepare, and respond to, epidemics and pandemics at local, national, and global levels.<\/p>\n
