Gleason Turns Tragedy into a Passion for Global Health
Posted May 13, 2021
Associate Professor Rudy Gleason wins Georgia Tech’s Denning Award for work on health disparities in sub-Saharan Africa
Rudy Gleason’s singular focus on using bioengineering innovation to combat grand challenges in global health comes from a deeply personal place.
Gleason and his wife were in the process of adopting a young girl from Ethiopia in 2009 named Kennedy. Before they could bring her home, however, she died the result, Gleason said, of a seemingly preventable combination of malnutrition and diarrhea.
“This loss shifted my passion and redirected both my personal activities and my academic teaching, research, and service activities at Georgia Tech,” Gleason said.
