Dr. Michael Callahan is an American infectious diseases scientist whom Raul Diego summarised as "DARPA's man in Wuhan".[1]

He is a staff physician at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and a clinical subject matter expert for international clinical trials for the Assistant Secretary of Public Health Preparedness (ASPR) of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).[2]

Activities

Callahan was recruited in 2004 by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to run their $260M Accelerated Manufacture of Pharmaceuticals program dealing with pandemics and microbial resistance.

Zika

Callahan acted as CEO and co-founder of the Zika Foundation.[3]

In March 2014, Callahan co-authored a paper describing development of medical countermeasures to the Zika virus alongside Robert Malone and Jill Glasspool-Malone, and others.[4]

He published a followup study in August 2016 titled Zika Fetal Neuropathogenesis: Etiology of a Viral Syndrome, again with the Malones.[5]

Raul Diego suggested Michael Callahan was DARPA’s Man in Wuhan.[6]
