Devi Lalita Sridhar FRSE (born 1984) is an American public health researcher, who is both professor and chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.[5][6] Her research considers the effectiveness of public health interventions and how to improve developmental assistance for health.[1][7][8] Sridhar directs the University of Edinburgh's Global Health Governance Programme which she established in 2014.
Sridhar has written two books, The Battle Against Hunger: Choice, Circumstance and the World Bank[9] Governing Global Health: Who Runs the World and Why?, (co-written with Chelsea Clinton)[10] and Preventable: How a Pandemic Changed the World & How to Stop the Next One.[11] Following the West African Ebola virus epidemic, she worked with the Harvard Global Health Institute and London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine to assess international responses to the outbreak and use it to better inform preparations with future pandemics. In 2020, Sridhar was part of the Royal Society's Data Evaluation and Learning for Viral Epidemics (DELVE) group which influences the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) committee of the government of the United Kingdom.[12] She also served as a member of the Scottish Government's COVID-19 advisory group set up to provide advice on how to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland.
