Christopher Murray is the Director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) and Professor of Global Health at the University of Washington.

Along with his collaborators, he has changed the landscape of global health metrics, pioneering ways to compare the impact of disparate conditions through the Global Burden of Disease study and other projects. He was instrumental in launching IHME at the University of Washington with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. IHME aims to identify the world’s major health problems, find out what is being done to address those challenges, and evaluate whether society is getting the most out of its health investments.
