Okay. And then what about Ian Lipkin?

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

  1. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    And did he have people on the ground over in Wuhan in early 2020?
  2. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    So I was not part of his RO1 grant that went from like 2014 to 2019. So on that grant, as you know, part of that money went to the Wuhan Institute of DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com Virology. So I guess you could say he had a collaborative group in China, and I would imagine that he had people moving back and forth between the two, the U.S. and China.
  3. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    To your knowledge, he didn't an EcoHealth employee or anything like that?
  4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    You'd have to ask him those questions. I wouldn't know.
  5. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar
    Okay. And then what about Ian Lipkin?
  6. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Yeah, another good friend from Columbia University. But what's the question?
  7. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    So my understanding is that he also worked out of the Wuhan CDC at times.
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Ian Lipkin, you'd have to look at his CV, but I believe he received a medal from China for his efforts in the original 2003 SARS coronavirus outbreak, helping them bring it under control. So he is also, not really a viral ecologist. He really does virus discovery, very interested in post-responses to viral infections. He's a global leader in really, I guess, the last 15 years, developing new technologies for rapid detection of unknown pathogens in the environment.
  9. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Are you aware of him working out of the Wuhan CDC?
