Meeting the Moment
This special 2020 edition of Frontiers in Medicine brought us together virtually to explore the power of translational science and medicine over disease during this unprecedented moment in American history—a moment where we battle both a pandemic and the public health crisis of inequality.
Hear from our frontline leaders about the global effort to meet the challenge of COVID-19, and the accelerated pace of medical discovery that emerged from this shared effort. The multidisciplinary strength, culture of collaboration, and preeminence in fundamental science that Stanford Medicine brings to meeting the COVID-19 challenge, and so many of humanity’s other public health threats, were the focus of this year’s event.
