John Crump Explained
John Andrew Crump MB ChB, MD, DTM&H, FRACP, FRCPA, FRCP is a New Zealand-born infectious diseases physician, medical microbiologist, and epidemiologist. He is Professor of Medicine, Pathology, and Global Health at the University of Otago[1] and an adjunct professor of medicine, Pathology, and Global Health at Duke University.[2] He served as inaugural co-director of the Otago Global Health Institute,[3] one of the university's research centres.[4] His primary research interest is fever in the tropics, focusing on invasive bacterial diseases and bacterial zoonoses.
Early life and education
Crump was born in Oamaru and raised on a farm at Okaramio, attending Havelock School[5] and Marlborough Boys’ College.[6] He graduated MB ChB in 1993 and received his MD[7] [8] in 2013 for research on clinical and laboratory aspects of HIV in Tanzania from the University of Otago Medical School. Crump trained as both an internist in infectious diseases and as a pathologist in medical microbiology in New Zealand, England,[9] Australia and the US, and as an Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US CDC).
Career and research
Crump studies the diagnosis, management, and prevention of infectious causes of fever in the tropics other than malaria.[10] He has advocated for a comprehensive approach to investigating febrile illness as a necessary progression from the traditional disease-specific approach in tropical medicine.[11] He has contributed to describing the problem of malaria over-diagnosis,[12] and also to appreciation of range of neglected causes of fever including invasive bacterial diseases,[13] [14] as well as bacterial zoonoses such as leptospirosis and Q fever.[15] [16] [17] Much of his research is trans-disciplinary involving close collaboration between human health experts, veterinarians, ecologists, and social scientists, and following the so-called 'One Health' approach.[18] [19] He has led work characterizing the burden of typhoid fever,[20] [21] paratyphoid fever,[20] and invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella disease[22] [23] that has contributed to diagnosis, management, and prevention efforts for these diseases, including vaccine deployment[24] and vaccine development.[25] He served as expert advisor on invasive Salmonella disease to the World Health Organization Foodborne Diseases Epidemiology Reference Group,[26] and as a member of the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization Working Group on Typhoid Vaccines.[27]
Crump has a research interest in ethics in global health training, spurred by concern for the unintended consequences of expansion of short-term global health training opportunities in low-resource areas.[28] With Dr. Jeremy Sugarman, Crump co-chaired the Wellcome Trust-funded Working Group on Ethics Guidelines for Global Health Training (WEIGHT) that developed initial guidelines for responsible global health training programs.[29] Crump has also highlighted the value of cosmopolitan principles and the challenges posed by health nationalism in global health responses.[30]
Awards and honors
Crump was awarded the 2005 US CDC James H. Steele Veterinary Public Health Award[31] for outstanding contributions in the investigation, control, or prevention of zoonotic diseases or other animal-related human health problems. In 2012, Crump received the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Bailey K. Ashford Medal[32] for distinguished work in tropical medicine. Crump was awarded the 2021 University of Otago Dunedin School of Medicine Dean's Medal for Research Excellence.[33] In 2022, Crump was awarded the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Chalmers Medal for research of outstanding merit in tropical medicine and mentoring of junior investigators.[34]
Publications
As of December 2023, Crump had published >300 scientific manuscripts, cited >50,000 times.[35] He is a 2020 cross-field Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher, defined as having multiple papers ranked in the top 1% by citations for field and year.
