Lipkin is the Director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. Internationally recognized for his work in public health, Lipkin’s technologies of next-gen sequencing, VirCapSeq-VERT, BacCapSeq, and multiplexed serological assays have been critical in mitigating outbreak response, notably with West Nile Virus, SARS, MERS, Zika, encephalitis, and COVID-19. Additionally, he has extensive work in chronic disease and led the studies disproving the MMR vaccine as a causative factor in autism and XMRV in ME/CFS. Lipkin was chief scientific consultant in the film “Contagion” and works with the Director’s Guild of America for safe return to work protocols.
