Joshua Salomon
Professor of Health Policy and Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies
BioJoshua Salomon is a Professor of Health Policy, a core faculty member in the Center for Health Policy, and Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. His research focuses on public health policy and priority-setting, within three main substantive areas: (1) modeling patterns and trends in major causes of global mortality and disease burden; (2) evaluation of health interventions and policies; and (3) measurement and valuation of health outcomes.
Dr. Salomon is an investigator on projects funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, relating to modeling of infectious and chronic diseases and associated intervention strategies; methods for economic evaluation of public health programs; measurement of the global burden of disease; and assessment of the potential impact and cost effectiveness of new health technologies.
He is Director of the Prevention Policy Modeling Lab, which is a multi-institution research consortium that conducts health and economic modeling relating to infectious disease. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty, Dr. Salomon was Professor of Global Health at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Alexander Isaac Salter
Affiliate, Department Funds
Fellow in Medicine - Med/HematologyBioI am a clinical fellow in medical oncology at Stanford University whose long-term goal is to become a translational physician-scientist who develops curative cellular immunotherapies for solid tumors. As a graduate student, I conducted the first comprehensive signaling analyses of therapeutically engineered T cells, demonstrating that signal strength, rather than quality, is a key determinant of T cell function and fate. These findings helped inform the design of next-generation cellular immunotherapies, some of which are now in clinical trials. I also co-led a collaboration with Dr. David Baker’s laboratory at the University of Washington to engineer synthetic protein “logic gates” enabling combinatorial antigen recognition with high precision, offering a potential path to more safely target solid tumors. My doctoral research resulted in 16 publications, including four prominent first-, co-first-, or second-author papers in high-impact journals, several reviews and textbook chapters, and recognition on the Forbes 30 Under 30 List.
At Stanford, I focus on translating cellular therapies for thoracic and genitourinary malignancies. Under the mentorship of Drs. Crystal Mackall and Allison Betof Warner, I am developing CAR T cells for lung cancer in non- and never-smokers and serve as a sub-investigator on an upcoming first-in-human phase 1 trial of drug-regulatable CAR T cells for adults with advanced solid tumors.
