Dr. Rashid Chotani, recipient of the 2016 “NATO Scientific Award for Counterterrorism,” and in 2020 was recognized by

Pakistan to me on the “2020 Honor List” for his efforts on COVID-19 globally. He has spent over 20 years providing biodefense,

infectious disease epidemiology (with a focus on influenza, SARS CoV, MERS-CoV, SARS CoV-2, zika, Ebola, CCHF, dengue etc.), public

health, and emergency management expertise to public agencies, private industry, academia and non-profits. He is a recognized

expert in the medical countermeasure (MCM) development, biosecurity, healthcare management, health surveillance, and

diagnosis of human and zoonotic diseases. He has applied this expertise to groundbreaking research and development and

advanced development of programs for naturally occurring, man-made and/or genetically modified biological and

chemical agents. Currently, Dr. Chotani holds appointments as Medical Director, IEM; Chief Scientific Officer, Washington Vascular

Specialists; VP Medical Affairs, CareLife; and Adjunct Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He

also serves as a Senior Fellow, Potomac Institute for Policy Studies and has served as an Adjunct Professor, College of

Professional Studies at the George Washington University with a focus on public health emergency and crisis communication. His

clinical team at CareLife Medical established the first serologic antibody (10-min Rapid Detection of IgM/IgG) immunoassay-screening

site in Fairfax, Virginia. He has also introduced a bill to the Senate and the House to create a “National SARS-CoV 2 (COVID-19)

Immune Registry.

Dr. Chotani has provided key scientific and medical leadership to the Chemical Biological Defense Programs at the US Department

of Defense (DOD). He was the Chief Scientist and Program Manager of JSTO’s $800M portfolio of applied research and

development projects focused on developing FDA-compliant MCM’s – therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostic devices. As a Senior

Scientist, he established and managed the Medical Surveillance Systems and Medical Effects Modeling Thrust Areas program

that is the second largest division at JSTO. As the Chief Scientist, with JPEO, he served the Joint Project Manager Chemical and

Biological Medical Systems, managing the $500M MCM advanced development program. Additionally, he led the establishment of

the bio-surveillance program, as well as the supervision of all clinical trials from a safety, efficacy, budgetary and time perspective.

In 1999 after he finished his fellowship in Hospital Epidemiology and Microbiology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he was

trained to conduct outbreak investigations, he was selected as a DARPA post-doctorate fellow at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics

Laboratory. This was the DARPA Challenge to develop the first Early Detection of Bioterrorism System. He completed a 2-year

proof-of-concept challenge in 8 months, and then led as co-PI the $16M DARPA program to operationalize it. Ultimately, this

program became operational as ESSENCE at the DoD and was adopted by the CDC in their BioSense program. Dr. Chotani’s success

in the academic field includes establishing and directing the Global Infectious Disease Surveillance and Alert System (GIDSAS) at

Johns Hopkins University, where he also served as an Assistant Professor at the School of Medicine, Public Health and the Center

for International Disaster & Refugee Studies. He led missions after the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia and Sri Lanka and well as the 2005

earthquake in Pakistan. He led the building of the Epidemic Investigation Cell and Disease Early Warning System in Pakistan. During

his career, he has worked on out-the-box cutting-edge technologies such as working on the adult trivalent vaccine for Filovirus,

monoclonal antibodies for Ebola, developing solutions for a genetically engineered highly virulent influenza strain and other

infectious diseases. Additionally, he advocated and pushed programs such as, rapid healing of fractures by controlling the calcium

channels, and the spider-man suite using nanoparticles to cover the body against chemical or biological agents and placement of

intradermal MCM that are released at the time of exposure, triggered by nano-sensors.

From 2016-19, he led the charge to make MCC Medical Clinic to become the largest multi-disciplinary, safety-net, not-for-profit

Clinic in the US open 7 days a week from 9 am to 5 pm, serving the uninsured and underinsured with a staff of 50+, anticipated total

patient-encounters for FY2020 of over 20,000 and a budget of $3.2M (Contracts, Grants, Fundraising). In under two years

successfully increasing the total budget by over 70% and patient encounters by 70% and brought national attention to the Clinic.

Dr. Chotani is a Fellow of the Royal College of Public Health. He earned his MD from the Eugenio Maria de Hostos School of Medicine

and holds a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology and Biostatistics & International Health from Johns Hopkins. He served there as

Dr. D. A. Henderson’s research assistant and then a post-doctorate fellow. Dr. Chotani has authored and co-authored over 50 scientific

peer-reviewed papers on topics ranging from planning for pandemics to identifying innovative surveillance methods for rapid

detection of disease outbreaks and bioterrorism. He is a prolific public speaker, having presented more than 30 scientific peer-

reviewed papers during his academic career and has spoken on public health and biosecurity interests at over 70 national and

international conferences. He is a weekly commentator on Fox Business News since March on COVID-19. He has served as a

board member of American Immigration Council and the Chairperson of the APPNA University Committee and Member of

APPNA Advocacy Committee; he continues to server on the Saint Andrews Humanitarian Forum.
