Our guest this week is Sir Jeremy Farrar, the World Health Organization’s new Chief Scientist, who took up the role earlier this year.

As Chief Scientist, Dr Farrar oversees WHO’s science division, bringing together the best brains in science and innovation from around the world.

Prior to joining WHO, Dr Farrar was the director of the Wellcome Trust, and prior to that he served as the director of the Oxford Clinical Research Unit at the hospital for tropical diseases in Vietnam for 17 years.

In this episode, we discuss:

Dr Farrar’s priorities for the science division at WHO over the next couple of years.
What he sees as key innovation and research challenges and opportunities for WHO.
His views on the governance of public good R&D for global health products, how the system could be improved, and the opportunities for WHO to influence that space.
