Day 2 Times in GMT	GIANT Main Stage IN HONOUR OF MAIA MAJUMDAR Maia Majumdar Maia is leading the way for an emerging public health field called digital disease detection, a method of using data from often non-traditional sources (like Google searches or social media posts) as a tool to identify health trends. The benefits of such strategies are huge. Being able to identify outbreaks early could allow health officials to respond earlier and potentially stop the next global pandemic before it even begins.	Conference Room 1 IN HONOUR OF GERTRUDE ELION Gertrude Elion Gertrude Elion was an American pharmacologist and biochemist. Honored for her work in the field of treating diseases, Elion went on to share the 1988 Nobel Prize for her efforts in developing drugs used to treat serious diseases. Following retirement, Elion supervised the development of azidothymidine, an AIDS treatment that prevents pregnant women from spreading the disease to their child. She also devised the first antiviral drug to treat viral Herpes infections. Elion was also responsible for inventing an immunosuppressive drug key to organ transplants.
