Dear Mr. Epstein,

Ellis Rubinstein tried to introduce us in October but failed due to the comp=exity of coordinating 3 calendars. I'm following up at his recommendation w=th the hope that we may find it easier to meet directly. I direct the large=t and most productive center for pathogen surveillance and discovery. House= at Columbia, the Center for Infection and Immunity and associated WHO Coll=borating Centre, is poised to expand from metagenomic and zoonotic diseases=research to address the role of gene•environment-timing interactions in neu=odevelopmental, neoplastic and autoimmune disorders. The strategies and too=s needed to do this are largely the same; thus, I'm confident this new init=ative can succeed and have a huge impact on human morbidity and mortality. P=ease suggest a date and time we can meet to discuss your vision for basic a=d translational public health and see whether a collaboration makes sense. = All best wishes,

Ian Lipkin
