Advisory Committee

The Center’s Advisory Committee, chaired by the Countess Albina du Boisrouvray, meets annually to review and advance the mission of the FXB Center to promote health and human rights. The Committee’s agenda bridges academic disciplines such as public health, medicine, law, and ethics, to closely connect the Center’s teaching, learning, and intellectual work with front-line settings where the real struggles over health and human rights take place.
