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).

Matheus Otero
Affiliate, Department Funds
BioDr. Matheus Otero is a neurologist based in Palo Alto, California. He earned his medical degree from Universidade Salvador (UNIFACS) in Brazil and completed his internship and neurology residency at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He has pursued extensive clinical and research training across diverse academic settings, including serving as a Research Fellow at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, where he was involved in neurophysiology, acute brain injury, and neurocritical care-related research. Dr. Otero’s scholarly work spans neurology, neurophysiology, and outcomes following cardiac arrest and traumatic brain injury. His clinical interests include epilepsy, EEG interpretation, neuromodulation and the application of advanced neurophysiologic monitoring in acute and inpatient settings. He is particularly interested in the intersection of clinical neurology, technology, and data-driven innovation, with a growing focus on how emerging tools such as AI can enhance diagnosis, monitoring, and patient outcomes in neurological disease.
