About

Meira Epplein is a leading epidemiologist whose research focuses on the infectious and inflammatory origins of gastrointestinal cancers, particularly gastric cancer. Her work has been instrumental in elucidating how chronic infections, such as *Helicobacter pylori*, and host immune responses interact to drive carcinogenesis. Among her most notable contributions is the synthesis of findings from the 2020 Gastric Cancer Summit at Stanford University, a landmark paper (48 citations) that outlined critical research priorities and translational pathways for prevention. Epplein’s studies have consistently demonstrated the role of specific bacterial strains and inflammatory biomarkers in cancer risk, helping to refine screening strategies for high-risk populations. With a career spanning over two decades, her research has been cited extensively in the field of cancer epidemiology, influencing both clinical guidelines and public health interventions. She is also recognized for her leadership in global health initiatives, bridging molecular epidemiology with community-based prevention efforts. Epplein’s work continues to shape our understanding of how modifiable risk factors can be targeted to reduce the burden of gastric cancer worldwide.
