Utah, U Conn, UC Davis, U Penn, Wash U St. Louis, NIH among others). The PLoS Medicine paper
on “Why most published research findings are false” has been the most-accessed article in the history
of Public Library of Science (~3 million hits) and the most used article in Mendeley across all science.
Author of 7 literary books in Greek, three of which (“Toccata for the Girl with the Burnt Face”
(Kedros 2012), “Variations on the Art of the Fugue and a Desperate Ricercar” (Kedros 2014), and
“Meta-A-Physics” (Kedros, 2018)) were shortlisted for best book of the year Anagnostis awards.
Brave Thinker scientist for 2010 according to Atlantic, “may be one of the most influential scientists
alive”. Highly Cited Researcher according to Clarivate in both Clinical Medicine and in Social
Sciences. Citation indices: h=197, m=7 per Google Scholar (h=160 per WoK and Scopus). Current
citation rates: >4,400 new citations per month per Google Scholar, >2,200 new citations per month per
Scopus or Web of Knowledge (among the 10 scientists worldwide who are currently the most
commonly cited, perhaps also the currently most-cited physician). I consider myself privileged to have
learned and to continue to learn from interactions with students and young scientists (of all ages) from
all over the world and I love to be constantly reminded that I know next to nothing.

MEDICAL BOARDS
Licensing: ECFMG certificate 8/90. FLEX: Massachusetts, 6/91. Board of Registration in

88
Medicine of Massachusetts (8/91). Board of Physician Quality Assurance of
Maryland (10/96)
Board-certification Internal Medicine (1993) and Infectious Disease (1996), American Board
of Internal Medicine - Also board-certified in Internal Medicine (1995) and in
Infectious Diseases (1997; re-certified 2001) in Greece.
Current practice: In Europe I have provided free consultation/second opinion for difficult
cases in internal medicine, infectious diseases and AIDS, when requested, at the
Ioannina University Hospital and whenever people ask me. I have declined any
monetary enumeration or salary support for such activity and I do not have a
private medical practice. My principle is that I have not accepted payment for
providing medical services or consultation since I finished my specialty training. I
have not practiced medicine in the USA during my appointment at Stanford.

Other trainees (selectively):

Besides these PhD recipients where I was the main supervisor, several dozens of other young researchers
who trained* with me as fellows or research associates or collaborated with me in the first stages of their
careers already have faculty positions in various countries around the world.
*I don’t like a lot the term “trained”, but I use it here for convention – I consider that I am the
one who tries to get trained when I work with younger colleagues. I enjoy working with young
researchers and training with them, regardless of the distance involved, and some of them are
not physically located where I am located. My “lab” is dispersed around the world.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPERIENCE (selectively)

Some selected highlights of administrative achievements/accomplishments under my leadership

1996-1998 Director for community research and community clinical trials, HIV Research Branch,
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, US National Institutes of Health. Responsible for
the co-ordination, oversight, and methodological support of the research agenda that transformed HIV-
1 infection from a highly lethal disease to a highly manageable condition with good outcomes through
rigorous randomized controlled trials that led to the validation of highly active antiretroviral therapy
(e.g. ACTG 320), the need for sustained viral suppression (e.g. ACTG 341), antiretroviral resistance
testing (CPCRA GART trial), and other pivotal clinical research.
1999-2010 Chair, Department of Hygiene and Epidemiology, University of Ioannina School of
Medicine. Created one of the leading departments in the field worldwide with major footprint in
research, education, and societal impact and with world-caliber strengths in clinical epidemiology,
genetic and molecular epidemiology, research methods, evidence synthesis, and evidence-based
medicine. Within a decade, the department grew to involve more than 250 scientists in its work,
including more than 30 PhD graduates, and published 16 of the 20 (80%) most-cited papers with an

127
address from the University of Ioannina, including the most-cited paper of all times and all science
with a corresponding address from Greece (one of the top-8 Altmetric scores across all papers of all
times across all science) and 2 of the 8 most-cited papers of all times and all science with a
corresponding address from Greece.
2010-2016 Division Chief, Stanford Prevention Research Center, Stanford University School of
Medicine. Within 6 years, SPRC grew its annual budget from $13 million to $22 million, the center
leadership group (principal investigator faculty and select senior staff leaders) grew from 13 to 20
people, the number of people employed grew to over 250 annually (approximately half of them part-
time/temporary employees), and the number of published papers per year with an SPRC address
increased 4-fold, with 89 published papers being in the top 1% of citations (field- and year-adjusted)
according to Essential Science Indicators. By October 2016 (when I relinquished administrative SPRC
duties so that I can devote more effort to METRICS, WELL and other new initiatives), SPRC had
markedly grown its disease prevention and wellness programs at Stanford, nationally, and
internationally, had launched major new initiatives both in research and education (e.g. WELL, and a
MSc in Community Health and Prevention Research), and published approximately 15% of the most-
cited papers of Stanford University School of Medicine according to Essential Science Indictors
(higher than any other team at Stanford University School of Medicine).
2013-now Fouding Director (2013-12/2019), member of program committee (12/2019-), PhD in
epidemiology and clinical research, Stanford University School of Medicine. In a process that lasted 2
years, I led the effort to get approved and launch a new PhD program in epidemiology and clinical
research at Stanford, with the first students admitted in 2013; the program is extremely competitive,
and it had recruited top students in the first 6 years, the first of whom graduated in late 2016.
2014-now Principal Investigator (2014-12/2019), chair of the Advisory Board (12/2019-),
Wellness Living Laboratory (WELL), Stanford University. WELL was launched in August 2014 with
the aim to study wellness/well-being and its determinants, interventions that could improve wellness
and biomarkers of wellness. Within two years, a core wellness/well-being module has been developed
and along with several other modules focusing on diverse dimensions of wellness/well-being has been
incorporated in cohorts of participants recruited in California, China, Taiwan and Singapore, piloting
is performed in Thailand, and expansion is planned for other countries. Visit
http://med.stanford.edu/wellforlife.html for updates.
2014-now Director (one of two directors), Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford
(METRICS), Stanford University. METRICS was launched with support from the Laura and John
Arnold Foundation in December 2013 and acquired an executive team in the summer of 2014. Within
a short time, it has become the leading center worldwide for meta-research (research on research),
creating a connector hub for efforts to improve research practices through evidence, influence, and
action. It currently consists of a core team of faculty, senior scientists and visiting scholars, doctoral
and postdoctoral students, 25 affiliated faculty members and their research teams at Stanford, several
field-specific affiliated centers at Stanford (e.g. on neuroimaging and social sciences) and 30 affiliated
faculty and their teams worldwide. Visit http://metrics.stanford.edu for updates.
2018-now Director, Meta-Research Innovation Center Berlin (METRIC B). METRIC B is
supported by my visiting Einstein fellowship from the Einstein Stiftung and the Stiftung Charité and I
am visiting the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité 3-4 times per year (for 7-10 days each time). I am

128
creating a full-time team on the ground in Berlin in collaboration with BIH and QUEST. METRIC B
is a sister center to METRICS and is already playing an important role as a connector hub for research
on research in Europe.

LITERARY WORKS:
For details, see separate webpage: sites.google.com/view/johnpaioannidis
I have written seven books, all of them in the Greek language. I consider these writings at least as
important as my scientific work and I work on them as such – actually, it is very likely they are more
important, given that in research I am still considering myself no more than a learning novice who is
passionately eager to learn more. The first three books comprise a trilogy and were published by
Govostis editions (a leading publishing house for literature in Greece) in 1989, 1990, and 1991 – two
of them carried original cover and frontispiece lithograph engravings by the late Vassilis Charos
(1938-2000, arguably one of the greatest Greek engravers of the 20th century). The “Toccata for the
Girl with the Burnt Face” was published by Kedros editions in the summer of 2012 and it was
shortlisted for the best book of the year Anagnostis awards in Greece in 2013 (www.oanagnostis.gr).
The “Variations on the Art of the Fugue and a Desperate Ricercar” was published by Kedros editions
in July 2014 and it was also shortlisted for the best book of the year Anagnostis awards in Greece in
2015. I am working on an English version of this book and looking for a publisher who would be
interested to publish it. The “Tractatus on the sixth fame” was published by Kedros editions in the
summer of 2016. My seventh book, (Μετά τα Αφύσικα, “Meta-a-Physics”) (written in both Greek and
English) was published in late summer 2018 by Kedros editions in the Greek version (also shortlisted
for the best book of the year Anagnostis award in 2019) and is being finalized in the English version.

OP-EDS ON GREECE AND ON PROMOTING SCIENCE


Having lived for many years in Greece, I am chagrined to see the demise of this beautiful country. I
believe that Greece needs a major transformation to become a leader in science, technology,
innovation and scholarship. My op-eds focus on the need to promote meritocracy, place priority on
education and foster scientific excellence and scholarship. I think that meritocracy, education, and
fostering scientific excellence and scholarship actually should be global priorities, not just for one
nation or country.

SELECTED VIDEOS FROM LECTURES, INTERVIEWS, AND DISCUSSIONS OF WORK FOR


GENERAL AUDIENCE
I am totally unable to track or to list systematically public references to my work; perusing them at times is a humbling experience to see that people think so
highly of me and of my work, while I am just struggling to understand the basics. The following list of some indicative material is not systematic, and is not
selected based on importance or some quality rating scheme, but may be helpful for a general audience that is interested to start somewhere to understand some of
my work:

OTHER IMPACT
 Over 150 publications have been accompanied by editorials in the same journal issue as they were

145
published.
 Many publications have been covered by press releases by Reuters or Associated Press. Comments
and coverage on my work have appeared repeatedly in Science, Nature, New Scientist, Scientist,
Science AAAS News, Scientific American, Chronicle of Higher Education, general journals (e.g.
Economist, New Yorker, Forbes, Newsweek, Wall Street Journal, Wired, Technology Review),
CNN.com, and thousands of international newspapers and news media around the world. I have given
interviews for my work on the National Public Radio, and national radio/TV channels in Australia
(Australian Broadcasting Corporation), Canada, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Italy,
Spain, and Greece among others. I was selected as the Brave Thinker scientist for 2010 by The
Atlantic (see article by David H. Freedman in November 2010 issue). Several bestseller books
include interviews that I have given to different authors about issues of scientific methods and bias.
The 2005 paper on “Why most published research findings are false” is the most frequently
accessed/downloaded article in the history of the Public Library of Science and in the open-access
peer-reviewed journal literature in general with over 3 million hits to-date. It is also the most used
paper across all science in Mendeley.

OTHER INTERESTS:
History, classical music, painting, visiting remote islands of the Mediterranean, hiking (e.g. in the
magnificent, noble mountains surrounding Ioannina), sports (swimming, basketball, and epee fencing),
walking across the beautiful Stanford campus to meet people who know far more than I do, finding out
errors and mistakes I have made (there is no end to them), spending time with my wife and my daughter.
