A Conversation with ASTMH President David Fidock

This week, David Fidock, PhD, FASTHM, begins his term as ASTMH President. Dr. Fidock is the C.S. Hamish Young Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, and Professor of Medical Sciences in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York. He leads the Fidock Lab at Columbia that has produced groundbreaking work identifying how Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites develop drug resistance. Dr. Fidock recently joined science writer Matthew Davis on the cusp of the U.S. presidential elections to discuss, among other things, his priorities for his presidency, navigating today’s fraught political landscape and his favorite read of the last year.
