When Ben Meier was an undergraduate biochemistry major at Cornell University, he realized something: while the solutions to global health problems were being advanced by science-applying biotechnology to revolutionize health and nutrition-the implementation of those solutions was being impeded by global policy. "So I ventured away from science and sought to understand policy," Meier said.
Thus began an educational journey that would explore international health law, human rights theory and global public health.
