This user is a physician.

I am Stuart Ray, M.D., a physician-scientist and Professor (Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases; research focus in virology, immunology, and computational biology) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) School of Medicine. I am here to promote awareness of and engagement with Wikipedia among members of my university community, because I see WP as an immensely valuable (even if not flawless) resource for the world that we can collaboratively improve. I made some comments about this during my talk at WikiConference USA in October 2015, and on a very similar theme at Wikimania 2019 in Stockholm.

This user is a participant in WikiProject Medicine.

I am a board member (elected volunteer) of the WikiProject Medicine Foundation (starting April 2019); I have since become co-Treasurer and Vice Chair of the board.

If you have a WP-related comment or question please use my Talk page or send email. If you send me WP-related email I'm likely to copy it to my Talk page and reply there. In real life, my home page is here. My ORCiD is 0000-0002-1051-7260.

This user has publicly declared that he has a conflict of interest regarding these Wikipedia articles:

Disclosures:

I work for, but on Wikipedia never speak for nor edit on behalf of, the Johns Hopkins University and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
I served as an Associate Editor of the JCI 2017-2022.
At JHU I led research that was supported by miDiagnostics, a relationship the terms of which are managed in accordance with policies of JHU.

I edit WP on my own behalf - my edits are not on behalf of my employer, any funding agency, or any other entity. I have never been paid or otherwise induced to edit Wikipedia.

I endeavor to avoid editing in areas that would result in real or perceived conflict of interest (please notify me if you think I've crossed this line).
