Neil is a physician with Conservation International, where he leads its efforts on pandemic prevention. He served for nearly a decade with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2013, Neil led an investigation in the country of Georgia of a newly discovered poxvirus related to the viruses that cause monkeypox and smallpox. Neil deployed for CDC to Liberia in 2014 and to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2019 to assist in the responses to the two largest Ebola outbreaks ever. From 2020-2021, Neil developed and led New York City’s COVID-19 contact tracing program, overseeing a team of over 3,000 people.
