SUMMARY:Communicable disease meets non-communicable disease: opportunities 
 for early prevention of cardiometabolic disease
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will also be streamed online for those who wish to
  attend virtually. \nInfections are ubiquitous and repeated inflammatory 
 stimuli across the life course\, with the greatest burden falling in early
  life. Infection has been implicated in cardiovascular disease (CVD) for o
 ver 200 years\, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. I will given an 
 overview of the epidemiological evidence linking childhood infection and i
 nflammation with CVD and metabolic disease\, and discuss how infection and
  inflammation may contribute to the marked social gradient in CVD. I will 
 also discuss emerging mechanistic data and opportunities for primordial an
 d primary prevention.\n\nDavid Burgner is a paediatric infectious diseases
  clinician scientist. He completed his PhD on susceptibility to severe inf
 ection at Oxford and subsequently trained at Great Ormond Street Hospital 
 and St Mary’s Hospital/Imperial College\, London. He was the first and o
 nly infectious diseases paediatrician in Western Australia from 2002 until
  2010\, when he relocated to Melbourne to join the Murdoch Children’s Re
 search Institute where he leads the Inflammatory Origins research group wi
 thin the Infection and Immunity Theme. He is a National Health and Medical
  Research Council (NHMRC) Investigator Grant awardee\, an honorary Profess
 orial Fellow at Melbourne and Monash Universities\, and a paediatric infec
