Commencement Speaker Biography
Christopher J.L. Murray, MD, DPhilProfessor, IHME Director, Chair, Department of Health Metrics Sciences
University of Washington
Christopher J.L. Murray, MD, DPhil, is a Professor of Global Health at the
University of Washington and Institute Director of the Institute for Health
Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). His career has focused on improving health for
everyone worldwide by improving health evidence. A physician and health
economist, his work has led to the development of a range of new methods and
empirical studies to strengthen health measurement, analyze the performance of
public health and medical care systems, and assess the cost-effectiveness of health
technologies. IHME provides rigorous and comparable measurement of the world’s
most important health problems and evaluates the strategies used to address them.
Dr. Murray is a founder of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) approach, a systematic effort to quantify the
comparative magnitude of health loss due to diseases, injuries, and risk factors by age, sex, and geography over time.
After co-authoring the original GBD study in the early 1990s, he brought the GBD enterprise to IHME in 2007 and
led the consortium of almost 500 researchers from 50 countries that produced the Global Burden of Diseases,
Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 (GBD 2010). GBD now produces annual updates to its estimates and has a
current network of more than 2,400 collaborators in 132 countries. The most recent of the updates, GBD 2015,
presents estimates of all-cause mortality, deaths by cause, years of life lost, years lived with disability, and disability-
adjusted life years by country, age, and sex from 1990 to 2015.
In his earlier work, Dr. Murray focused on tuberculosis control and the development, with Dr. Alan Lopez, of the
GBD methods and applications. As part of this work, they developed a new metric to compare death and disability
from various diseases and the contribution of risk factors to the overall burden of disease in developing and
developed countries. This pioneering effort continues to be hailed as a major landmark in public health and an
important foundation for policy formulation and priority setting.
From 1998 to 2003, Dr. Murray worked at the World Health Organization (WHO), where he served as Executive
Director of the Evidence and Information for Policy Cluster while Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland was Director-General.
He went on to become Director of the Harvard Initiative for Global Health and the Harvard Center for Population
and Development Studies, as well as the Richard Saltonstall Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard School of Public
Health, from 2003 until 2007.
Dr. Murray has authored or edited 16 books, many book chapters, and more than 350 journal articles in
internationally peer-reviewed publications. He and IHME were the subjects of Epic Measures: One Doctor, Seven Billion
Patients, which was published by Harper Wave in 2015. He holds Bachelor of Arts and Science degrees from Harvard
University, a DPhil in International Health Economics from Oxford University, and a medical degree from Harvard
Medical School.
