Gary Slutkin

Keynote Speaker: Epidemiologist, Innovator in Violence Reduction & Founder of Cure Violence

Gary Slutkin Biography

Gary Slutkin is an epidemiologist and the founder of Cure Violence, a public health initiative that applies disease control strategies to interrupt and prevent the spread of violence in communities. Drawing on his background in infectious disease control, Slutkin identified parallels between the transmission of violence and epidemics, leading him to develop a model that treats violence as a contagious process. Under his leadership, Cure Violence has been implemented in cities worldwide and has been recognized for its effectiveness in reducing shootings and violent incidents.

Slutkin’s professional experience includes directing major World Health Organization programs focused on controlling tuberculosis, cholera, and AIDS in Africa, which informed his approach to violence prevention. His work has been featured in media outlets and academic forums, and he has spoken at global conferences, including TEDMED, where his talk "Can violence be cured?" reached an international audience. Slutkin is recognized for reframing violence as a solvable health issue within the fields of epidemiology and public health.

Throughout his career, Slutkin has received recognition for his contributions to public health and violence prevention. His work has been cited by policymakers, researchers, and community leaders, and Cure Violence has been acknowledged by the World Health Organization and other institutions for its impact. Slutkin has addressed the challenges of shifting public perception and policy from punitive approaches to health-based solutions, emphasizing the importance of science, community engagement, and evidence-based intervention in addressing social problems.

Slutkin’s commitment to public health and his ability to communicate complex ideas have established him as a credible figure in violence prevention. His leadership continues to influence practitioners and advocates seeking sustainable solutions to urban violence.
