The Hopkins Medicine Distinguished Speaker Series (HMDSS) is excited to welcome Peter J. Hotez, M.D., Ph.D., a world renowned physician scientist who has pioneered the development of vaccines for several neglected tropical diseases.

He served as a Science Envoy for the U.S. State Department under the Obama administration, and has more recently become a leading voice from the scientific community engaging with vaccine skeptics.
