<h2> An Experienced Young Investigator </h2>
<p>
<a href="http://faculty.jhsph.edu/default.cfm?faculty_id=519&grouped=false&searchText=&department_id=0&departmentName=International%20Health" title="Katherine O'Brien" > Katherine O'Brien </a>
, MD, MPH '94, was humbled and thrilled when the Sabin Vaccine Institute (SVI) honored her with its inaugural Young Investigator Award this May. She also had to laugh a little. With a 14-year career in vaccinology and clinical epidemiology, a husband and two children, O'Brien didn't exactly consider herself a "young" investigator. But she gratefully accepted the title. </p>
<p> SVI credited O'Brien with playing a critical role in clinical trials of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine among Native Americans. O'Brien, a pediatric infectious disease physician and associate professor of International Health, was also noted for her work with GAVI's PneumoADIP (Pneumococcal Vaccines Accelerated Development and Introduction Plan). The $30 million, five-year initiative aims to make the pneumococcal vaccine available to the world's poorest children. </p>
<p> Pneumococcal disease is a leading cause of a bacterial infection in children that can cause pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis and other serious illnesses. According to WHO estimates, it kills 1.6 million people worldwide each year, including 800,000 children under age 5. </p>
<p> As PneumoADIP's deputy director of research, O'Brien is working to accelerate the introduction of new, lifesaving pneumococcal vaccines to children in resource-poor countries. "We're in the midst of a very significant change in the awareness of pneumococcal disease burden and the possibility for prevention," O'Brien says. "Decisions have been made to provide considerable funding for pneumococcal vaccines that will allow children in the poorest countries to have access to the vaccines." </p>
<p> As director of the Center for American Indian Health's Infectious Disease Group, O'Brien conducts vaccine clinical trials for illnesses that disproportionately affect tribal populations. The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, which protects against seven types of
<em> Streptococcus pneumoniae </em>
, has been part of the routine immunization schedule for U.S. infants and children since 2000; however, it was initially unclear how successful it would be in a population with high rates of pneumococcal disease. O'Brien's vaccine studies among children in the Navajo and White Mountain Apache communities demonstrated that the vaccine was highly effective in this group. "Of the seven serotypes in the vaccine, we essentially don't see any disease in the Navajo and White Mountain Apache tribes," says O'Brien. "It has basically eliminated a health disparity for these serotypes that previously existed." </p>
<p> It has also been shown to be successful in African-American children, another group at higher risk for pneumococcal disease than the general U.S. population.
