Marc Lipsitch
Michael and Barbara Berberian Professor, Professor of Biology and Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies
BioMarc Lipsitch and his research group study the impact of medical and public health interventions and human immunity on pathogen populations and the consequences of these changes for human health. Within this broad umbrella we consider both ecological effects (modulating the amount of transmission and infection) and evolutionary ones (shaping the genetic composition of the populations of infectious agents). Specific areas of interest include natural selection imposed by strain-specific vaccines and antibiotics, design and evaluation of measures to control outbreaks and pandemics, methods for evaluating vaccine efficacy, and surveillance design. Tools include mathematical and computational modeling, pathogen population genomics, causal inference methods, and (in the past) experimental microbiology and immunology. In addition to this scientific research, we work in the areas of research ethics and biosecurity (through an appointment at the Center for International Security and Cooperation). He joined Stanford in 2026. From 1999-2025 he was a faculty member at Harvard TH Chan Schooll of Public Health, where he was Professor of Epidemiology (20062025) and founding Director of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics (2009-2025). He was founding Director for Science and then Senior Advisor at the CDC's Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics (2021-5).

Bingxiao Liu
Ph.D. Student in Chinese, admitted Autumn 2020
SHI Discussion Leader, Stanford Pre-Collegiate StudiesBioBingxiao Liu is a Ph.D. student in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Stanford University. Her research interests include premodern Chinese literature, cultural and intellectual history; gender and sexuality; emotions, literary and political culture. Her research examines how emotions are invoked or invented to constitute interpersonal ties in 3rd - 6th century China. Working with official histories, commentaries, inscriptions, and literary works, her project explores the reconceptualization of identity and community in emotive terms and the signification of emotion as the legitimizing basis for a new social order in medieval China.
