Time has released its first annual list of the 100 most influential individuals in global health, and one of the names making the list is a familiar one: Dr. Peter Hotez.
He's the co-director of the Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development, and he and Dr. Maria Elena Bottazzi, co-director of the Texas Children's Hospital and senior associate dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022 for their vaccine development efforts, reports the Houston Chronicle.
"I'm grateful for the TIME100 Health 2024 recognition, particularly for our low-cost vaccines for neglected diseases and global health, as well as my efforts to counter rising antivaccine and antiscience activism," says Hotez.
