The Barrick Lecture Series presents nationally and internationally renowned speakers through a generous grant from philanthropist Marjorie Barrick.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a nationally recognized medical news correspondent and Emory Clinic staff neurosurgeon, plays an integral role in CNN鈥檚 reporting on health and medical news for American Morning, Anderson Cooper 360掳, CNN documentaries, and anchors the weekend medical affairs program Sanjay Gupta, MD.
His medical training and public health policy experience distinguish his reporting on a range of medical and scientific topics including brain injury, disaster recovery, health care reform, fitness, military medicine, HIV/AIDS, and other areas. He has reported from New York following the 9/11 attacks, from earthquake-ravaged Japan and Haiti, and he contributed to CNN鈥檚 award-winning coverage of the Gulf oil spill in 2010.
Gupta鈥檚 passion for inspiring Americans to lead healthier, more active lives led him to launch Fit Nation, CNN鈥檚 multi-platform anti-obesity initiative. In 2011, Fit Nation followed the progress of Gupta and six CNN viewers as they inspire each other while training for a triathlon.
In addition to his work for CNN, Gupta is a member of the staff and faculty at the Emory University School of Medicine. He is associate chief of neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital and regularly performs surgery at Emory University and Grady hospitals.
Gupta contributes to the CBS newsmagazine 60 Minutes and Evening News with Katie Couric. He is the author of two best-selling books, Chasing Life (2007) and Cheating Death (2009), both of which became companion documentaries for CNN. In 2011, Forbes magazine named him as one of the 鈥淭en Most Influential Celebrities.鈥
