Brian Blackburn
Clinical Professor, Medicine - Infectious Diseases
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interests include parasitology and global health; I've investigated cryptosporidium and angiostrongylus outbreaks; schistosoma/strongyloides seroprevalence in refugees, and the distribution and impact of ITNs for malaria and filariasis prevention in Nigeria and India. I have done clinical and programmatic work at teaching hospitals in Liberia and Bangladesh and have opportunities for research in Bangladesh and Kenya, in collaboration with ICDDR,B and CDC, Kenya

Alexandria Boehm
Richard and Rhoda Goldman Professor of Environmental Studies, Professor of Oceans and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioI am interested in pathogens in the environment including their sources, fate, and transport in natural and engineered systems. I am interested in understanding of how pathogens are transmitted to humans through contact with water, feces, and contaminated surfaces. My research is focused on key problems in both developed and developing countries with the overarching goal of designing and testing novel interventions and technologies for reducing the burden of disease.
I am also interested broadly in coastal water quality where my work addresses the sources, transformation, transport, and ecology of biocolloids - specifically fecal indicator organisms, DNA, pathogens, and phytoplankton - as well as sources and fate of nitrogen. This knowledge is crucial to formulating new management policies and engineering practices that protect human and ecosystem health at the coastal margins. -

Timothy A. Bouley
Managing Director for Biological Sciences, Food, and Agriculture, Sustainability Accelerator
BioTimothy A. Bouley, MD, MSc, MA is Managing Director for Biological Sciences, Food, and Agriculture at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. He is responsible for leading the strategy and implementation of life science-related ‘Flagship Destinations,’ accelerating Stanford research into scalable technology and policy solutions.
Dr. Bouley has spent more than 20 years working across biotechnology, medicine, food systems, and the environment. In 2020, he founded and served as CEO of BioFeyn, a life science company based at Harvard, translating biomedical innovation in nanoparticle and stability science to improve the health and sustainability of farmed Norwegian salmon and animal agriculture. In recent years he has also worked to develop and support biological innovations in eDNA and genomics, oral vaccines, tissue engineering, and others with a particular focus on applied benefit for environmental sustainability.
From 2011 – 2018, Timothy was at the World Bank where he established several of the first international programs in Planetary Health: founding the World Bank program on Climate Change and Health; launching the new field of Climate-Smart Healthcare; and serving as the originating author for the first UN-World Bank framework on One Health. Operationally, this work supported lending throughout Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, deploying technology-focused innovation and finance in environment, infectious disease, and agriculture. He led numerous publications, including the five-part 'Investing in Climate and Health' series and 'Framework for Strengthening Human, Animal, and Environmental Public Health Systems.'
He has written and lectured widely on the relationship of human health to the environment and serves as a regular advisor to international organizations, governments, financial institutions, industry, and start-ups. He has held fellowships with the US National Academy of Sciences, Rockefeller Foundation, University of Exeter, and University of Edinburgh. He holds degrees in biology, bioethics, geography, and medicine. -
