Faculty Perspectives: Jeffrey Moe

Jeffrey Moe is leading a Bass Connections project team focused on identifying strategies to accelerate the introduction of chlorhexidine for umbilical cord care. For less than fifty cents a dose, chlorhexidine could save an estimated 422,000 babies’ lives over the next five years.

“Our team is conducting a global value chain analysis of the launch of chlorhexidine (CHX) for umbilical cord care in Bangladesh.

We needed students from many disciplines.... One thing was true of them all: they had pluck!”
