Marshall Scholars Working on COVID-19
Marshall Scholars have been helping at the forefront of the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Their work is advancing scientific discoveries, medical responses, and remedial measures across health care, public policy, business, education and other sectors.
The most significant of these contributions is the work by Dan Barouch (1993) at The Barouch Lab at Harvard University which has partnered with Johnson & Johnson to develop a COVID-19 vaccine for global distribution.

Dan Barouch (1993) is Director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Dan is collaborating with Johnson and Johnson to develop a non-replicating adenovirus COVID-19 vaccine candidate which entered clinical trials (stage 1&2) in July 2020 and is one of the five major vaccine efforts supported by the US government.
The Ad26.COV2.S vaccine started a phase 3 efficacy trial in September, 2020, enrolling 60,000 participants. This vaccine is one of several candidates that could be made available to the public, pending clinical trial outcomes and FDA approvals, by late 2020 or early 2021.
