Population Health Weekly
-Any discussion on health-related issues often spans across disciplines, lifestyles, and age groups. Beginning June 5 2026, we debut a weekly podcast that is vital to educational mission of this project. Hopefully, this curated presentation of complex health issues will promote evidence-based self-care, a quality marker different from adversarial plots underlying majority of digital content packaged as politics, sports, and entertainment. From Granada (Spain), you will be hearing weekly commentary relating local, regional and international perspectives on the given topic.
But we also want to know what health aspects are of your interest. Because we envision a vibrant online community of listeners not only to inform our editorial outlook in a big way but also advance professional discourse. Our production team comprises curious individuals digging through biomedical landscape, legislative developments, and policy bottlenecks. All of it and much more in fortnightly segments like Spotlight and The Triad.
More details to follow until the debut, stay tuned!
Shehnoor Azhar & Nikolai Petrovsky featured in a series of discussions on global health issues under the banner of Conversations. They connected the history of interesting topics to the present, hence offering unique generational perspectives. The entire series was our very first and remains available on Global Health Online, our YouTube Channel.
Professor Nikolai Petrovsky is a physician scientist with a passion for vaccine and artificial intelligence research. He is Professor of Immunology and Infectious Disease at the Australian Respiratory and Sleep Medicine Institute in Adelaide and Research Director at Vaxine Pty Ltd, a leading Australian biotechnology company. He is best known for his development of SpikoGen®/Covax-19, the first licensed protein-based COVID-19 vaccine. With 8 million doses delivered in the Middle East, SpikoGen® is estimated to have saved tens of thousands of lives from COVID-19. He is also the creator of many adjuvants including Advax and CpG55.2, the first licensed human product to be created by artificial intelligence. He can be contacted through his LinkedIn page.
