Education and career Rubin graduated from Brockton High School, Harvard College (AB, 1980) and Tufts University (MD and PhD, 1990).⁷ As a graduate student he studied the mechanism of action of botulinum toxins with D. Michael Gill. Rubin trained in Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease at the Massachusetts General Hospital and went on to postdoctoral work in John Mekalanos’ lab at Harvard Medical School.^3,4 There he studied Vibrio cholerae, Haemophilus influenzae and Mycobacterium smegmatis. His postdoctoral work included collaborating on the development of a widely used transposition system based on the Himar1 transposon along with the methods for mapping mutations on a genome-wide basis.

Rubin joined the Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in 1999, eventually becoming the Irene Heinz Given Professor and Chair of the Department. His lab studies mycobacterial physiology and virulence and has developed many of the genetic tools used to study Mycobacterium tuberculosis⁵ and related organisms. With collaborators, the lab has used these tools to address a wide range of questions about tuberculosis pathogenesis, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, and drug and vaccine development. ⁶ He is also an infectious disease clinician who sees patients at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where he is an Associate Physician.

In 2019, Rubin was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the Journal, where he had previously served as an Associate Editor, and NEJM Group, the publishing division of the Massachusetts Medical Society. During the Covid-19 outbreak, the Journal added a weekly podcast⁹ and rapidly published many studies, including the first description of SARS-CoV-2, the causative virus. During Rubin’s tenure, NEJM Group has also launched two more publications, NEJM Evidence and NEJM AI.

Rubin has worked extensively in international settings and has been involved on advisory boards for several national and global organizations. He is a member of the American Academy of Microbiology, the American Association of Physicians, and the National Academy of Medicine. He also serves on the Food and Drug Administration’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC).¹⁰

Not done for now Multiple parts of the draft are currently unsourced. Ideally, especially for biographies of living people, every fact should be sourced somewhere. Also, many of the sources you give are either too vague (e.g. NEJM's podcast feed to source the fact that Rubin was appointed Editor-in-Chief(?) and that the podcast was launched during the Covid-19 outbreak) or too directly connected to the subject (Rubin's profile in multiple websites). A Google search is also not an acceptable source by itself. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 09:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

• Your edit request could not be reviewed because the provided references are not formatted correctly. The citation style predominantly used by the Eric Rubin article is Citation Style 1 (CS1). The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's. Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.) In the extended section below titled Citation style, I have illustrated two examples: one showing how the edit request was submitted, and another showing how requests should be submitted in the future:

Citation style

Bare URL reference formatting: The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin. References 1. https://www.booksource.com 2. http://www.journalsource.com 3. http://www.websource.com In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Eric Rubin article. Using this style, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following: Citation Style 1 formatting: The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sjöblad|first1=Tristan|title=The Sun|url=http://www.booksource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=1}}</ref> while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Harinath|first1=Prisha|title=Size of the Moon|journal=Science|issue=78|volume=51|url=http://www.journalsource.com|date=2020|page=46}}</ref> The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Uemura|first1=Shu|title=The Sun's Heat|url=http://www.websource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=2}}</ref> Which displays as: The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin. References In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc., all information which is lost when only the links are provided. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such as yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

• Additionally, several terms within the proposed text do not contain Wikilinks. Terms which mention universities, people or medical societies should have the requisite WikiLinks added to the proposed text.
• Kindly resubmit the edit request below at your earliest convenience, taking care to ensure that it makes use of CS1 and includes any missing Wikilinks. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor.
