From Ebola to an age of pandemics: Peter Piot in conversation with Larry Kramer
Hosted by LSE Health
Wednesday 11 March 2026 6.30pm - 8pm
In-person public event (LSE Lecture Theatre, Centre Building)Join us for an exciting conversation with Peter Piot, one of the world's most influential voices in global health, as he reflects on a remarkable career spanning five decades at the forefront of humanity's battles against deadly diseases.
At just 27 years old, Piot co-discovered the Ebola virus in 1976, traveling to remote Zaire to investigate a terrifying new outbreak. That formative experience launched a lifetime of ground breaking work, from pioneering HIV/AIDS research in Africa in the 1980s to serving as the founding Executive Director of UNAIDS and UN Under Secretary-General, where he transformed the global response to AIDS and brought health to the highest levels of international policy. As former Director of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Special Advisor on Global and European Health Security to the European Commission President, Piot has witnessed first hand how health systems have evolved, and where they've fallen short. From the early days of Ebola to the COVID-19 pandemic, his insights span the full arc of modern global health challenges.
A rare opportunity to hear from a living legend of global health.
