Prof Suerie Moon
Visiting Professor, SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute (Spring 2025)
Professor of Practice, International Relations & Political Science, Geneva Graduate Institute, and Co-Director, Global Health Centre
Suerie Moon is Visiting Professor at the SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute (Spring 2025) and Professor of Practice in International Relations & Political Science at the Geneva Graduate Institute, where she also co-directs the Global Health Centre. She seeks to combine academically rigorous research and analysis with policy relevance and impact. Her work is broadly concerned with the intersection of global governance and public health. Her theoretical contributions to the field include conceptualizing the global health system, defining the functions the system must perform to adequately protect public health, global public goods for health, and identifying the types of governance gaps and power disparities that contribute to health inequity. She has developed specialized policy expertise on how to achieve more globally equitable innovation and access to medicines, and strengthen the global governance of outbreaks and pandemics. She has conducted empirical research on pathogen access and benefit-sharing practices, and since 2021 supported intergovernmental negotiations towards a Pandemic Accord. Her current research also focuses on alternative innovation models for medicines.
Prior to joining the Graduate Institute in 2016, she was Lecturer on Global Health and Special Advisor to the Dean at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Her work has been published in leading academic journals and covered in mainstream media. Professor Moon speaks regularly at academic conferences, government and intergovernmental meetings, legislative hearings, civil society convenings and with print, radio, television and online media. She has served on a number of expert advisory bodies and boards, including currently the Board of Directors of the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative and WHO Covid-19 Ethics and Governance Working Group. She received a BA in history from Yale, an MPA in international relations from Princeton, and PhD in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
