ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Lloyd Minor, MD, is a scientist, surgeon, and academic leader. He is the Carl and Elizabeth Naumann Dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine, a position he has held since December 2012. He is also a professor of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery and a professor of bioengineering and of neurobiology, by courtesy, at Stanford University.
As dean, Dr. Minor plays an integral role in setting strategy for the clinical, research, and teaching missions of Stanford Medicine, an academic medical center that includes the Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford Health Care, and Stanford Children’s Health and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. Dr. Minor led the first integrated strategic planning process for Stanford Medicine. With his leadership, Stanford Medicine has established a strategic vision to lead the biomedical revolution in Precision Health (predict, prevent, and cure—precisely), a fundamental shift to more proactive and personalized health care that empowers people to lead healthy lives.
Before coming to Stanford, Dr. Minor was provost and senior vice president for academic affairs of Johns Hopkins University. Prior to his appointment as provost in 2009, Dr. Minor served as the Andelot Professor and director (chair) of the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and otolaryngologist‐in‐chief of the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
With more than 140 published articles and chapters, Dr. Minor is an expert in balance and inner ear disorders. In the medical community, he is perhaps best known for his discovery of superior canal dehiscence syndrome, a debilitating disorder characterized by sound‐ or pressure‐induced dizziness. He subsequently developed a surgical procedure that corrects the problem and alleviates symptoms.
In 2012, Dr. Minor was elected to the National Academy of Medicine.
Matthew Rees is the founder of Geonomica, an editorial consulting firm that works with clients on speeches, books, articles, white
