Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2020 11:11 am
Nacido en 1977 en Pola de Lena, es profesor de Salud Pública de la Universidad de Harvard (EEUU), donde combina también formación en Arquitectura, Ingeniería y Ciencias Políticas. Unos intereses multidisciplinares que le han permitido abordar el problema de las epidemias a través de diferentes campos. Tras estudiar Ingeniería Industrial en Gijón se fue a la ONG Médicos Sin Fronteras, donde participó y dirigió numerosos proyectos. Aquí se enmarcan experiencias con la malaria en la República Democrática del Congo y la República Centroafricana, el cólera en Haití y el ébola en Liberia, por poner tan solo unos ejemplos. Finalizada su experiencia en los países en vías de desarrollo recaló en la Universidad de Harvard, donde tras estudiar un máster y hacer el doctorado acabó como docente. Todo este bagaje hace de García un auténtico experto en el control de las enfermedades contagiosas.
