Ian Crozier
Dr. Crozier is a Medical Affairs Scientist at the Frederick National Laboratory in Fort Detrick, Maryland. From this position, he supports the NIAID Integrated Research Facility (IRF) at Fort Detrick in a position designed to be bidirectionally agile
between the human bedside and in vitro/animal model investigation of host–filoviral (and other high-threat pathogen) interactions.
He trained as an internal medicine and infectious diseases clinician, then had a long post-training experience instructing African clinicians and providing clinical care at the bedsides of patients with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and other tropical infectious
diseases in Uganda. In August 2014, early in the Western African EVD outbreak, his clinical experience was jump-started when he was deployed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to an under-resourced, overwhelmed Ebola Treatment Unit in Kenema,
Sierra Leone. It was very clear that despite four decades of attention to this pathogen, they needed to understand more about the human–Ebola virus interaction to improve patient outcomes in these settings. Continuing deployments to affected
areas, as recently as the Côte d'Ivoire outbreak in March 2021, Dr. Crozier brings valuable clinical treatment experience to the research team.
