The “Epstein Files” contain references to several healthcare professionals, medical researchers, and wellness advocates. Their mentions range from personal relationships and scientific funding to administrative roles. Here is a [probably incomplete] list:
Dr. Eva Andersson-Dubin (Physician): A former Miss Sweden and Epstein’s long-time girlfriend. Epstein reportedly funded her medical education. She and her husband, Glenn Dubin, remained part of Epstein’s inner circle for many years, though she has stated she was unaware of his criminal behaviour. Recent files highlighted a 2010 email where she invited Epstein to her home while her daughter was 15, despite Epstein being a registered sex offender at the time. She has consistently maintained she was unaware of the extent of his crimes.
Dr. Peter Attia (Physician and ‘longevity expert’): Frequently mentioned in recent document releases. Emails show him discussing longevity science and health optimization with Epstein. He has since expressed regret over the association, noting the difficulty of reconciling Epstein’s public persona with his private actions. Attia resigned as a CBS News contributor on February 23, 2026, and stepped down as Chief Science Officer of the company David. Newly released emails from 2016 were described as “crude” and “indefensible.” Attia issued a public apology, admitting to “poor judgment” while denying any criminal involvement.
Deepak Chopra (Integrative Medicine): Appears in calendars and email threads – see my previous post. Chopra is under fresh scrutiny following the February 23 disclosure of hundreds of messages from 2016–2019. Files reveal he facilitated a $25,000 donation from Epstein to a UC San Diego research lab. Chopra stated he only suggested Epstein visit the lab for scientific interest and expressed deep sadness for the victims.
Dr. George Church (Geneticist, Harvard): Met with Epstein to discuss funding for genetics research. He has since publicly apologized for his “poor judgment” in interacting with Epstein even after his 2008 conviction. While his name appeared in the 2026 “Epstein Library” regarding historical funding discussions, there have been no new reports of disciplinary action or fresh scandals beyond his previous 2019 apology.
Dr. Martin Nowak (Evolutionary Biologist, Harvard): As the director of the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, he received significant funding from Epstein. He was a primary point of contact for Epstein’s attempts to influence the Harvard scientific community. He has since been placed on paid administrative leave by Harvard. This follows “new information” in the DOJ files, including 8,000 mentions and records of Epstein’s staff arranging travel for Nowak and a graduate student to Epstein’s private island in 2014.
Dr. Eric Lander (Geneticist): Mentioned in 2012 logs regarding a potential gene-sequencing venture. Lander has clarified that he met Epstein briefly but did not accept funding or maintain a relationship. The 2026 release has not produced new evidence of a deeper relationship or accepted funding.
Dr. Dan Ariely (Psychologist/Author): Documents released in 2026 included emails where Ariely engaged in social banter with Epstein; one specific exchange involved a request for the contact information of a woman he met through Epstein. His name appeared 636 times in the 2026 files. Reports highlighted a 2012 email where he asked for the contact info of a “redhead” he met through Epstein. Further emails from 2014 show Ariely seeking funding for a film and travel tips. Ariely responded in the Duke Chronicle, stating his contact was infrequent and mostly logistical.
Dr. Steven Pinker (Cognitive Psychologist): His name appears in flight logs and email threads. Pinker explicitly and publicly distanced himself in July 2019, following Epstein’s federal indictment. At that time, he released statements to various media outlets expressing regret for any perceived associations and reiterating his long-standing personal dislike of Epstein.
Dr. Jonathan Haidt (Social Psychologist): Mentioned as an attendee or invitee to various intellectual salons and events where Epstein was present.
It is important to stress that a mention in the files does, of course, not necessarily imply any participation of or knowledge in criminal activities.
I also found this on fb:
The Cut analyzed the latest DOJ document release and found that Jeffrey Epstein ran a systematic operation to keep women he was trafficking medically monitored and sexually available through regular gynecological care.
Epstein sent young women, many from Eastern Europe, to New York City gynecologists for STD testing (which he called “pussy swabs” or “pussy tests” in emails to his assistants), birth control prescriptions, and HPV vaccinations. He paid for appointments directly through checks, credit cards, or wire transfers. The volume of appointments was so high it became common knowledge among people in his circle.
In a December 12, 2012 email, an associate whose email address matches that of Mark Epstein, Jeffrey’s brother, asked him: “Do you remember the name of the Gynocologist [sic] that you used to send your victims to? Many years ago you used to send them to a gyno in NY who once commented something to the effect that you were keeping him in business singlehandedly.”
The brother used the word “victims” in writing. The doctor allegedly joked Epstein was keeping him in business. The system continued for years after this exchange.
Dr. Adam Romoff, an OB/GYN affiliated with Lenox Hill Hospital, appears in the files 40 times. Between 2011 and 2019, Epstein made more than half a dozen direct payments to Romoff and his former colleague Dr. Suzanne Yale. On March 14, 2019, four months before his final arrest, he wrote a $375 check to Romoff’s current practice, Women’s Health of Manhattan.
At least one physician actively helped Epstein cover up his activities. Dr. Bruce Moskowitz, Epstein’s personal physician, took steps to conceal his patient’s sexual activities. When Epstein told Moskowitz in 2018 that two of his “friends” might have contracted gonorrhea, Moskowitz agreed to treat them at a specific location. He texted: “That way I do not have to report the cases to health department including contacts.” By not reporting the STD cases, Moskowitz avoided mandatory contact tracing that would have revealed Epstein’s pattern of sexual activity with multiple young women.
Beyond New York, the emails reference doctors in Palm Beach, New Mexico, and Ohio where Epstein had homes. Ohio State University is investigating the chair of its obstetrics and gynecology department, Dr. Mark Landon, after his name appeared in the documents. Epstein reportedly gave thousands of dollars to Landon for unspecified work between 2001 and 2005.
The young women were subject to humiliating messages about their health. In one 2012 email, Epstein wrote: “make sure you take some form of antibiotic for the pussy, Cleocin or some such, you’ve had many dicks in just a few weeks.”
The system operated in plain sight because it was wrapped in medical language and clinical protocols. Regular gynecological appointments. Birth control prescriptions. STD screenings. All framed as routine healthcare, but actually serving to maintain trafficking victims in a state where they could be continuously sexually exploited.
The medical establishment treated sex trafficking like routine gynecological care for years.
Did you know that your name also appears in the files?
Apparently this was in connection with a Skeptics event in 2016, where the same hotel in Melbourne was booked for you and Lawrence Krauss.

how exciting!
even my wife is in the EF!
Yes.. which gives you both some odd bragging rights, I suppose.
As I expected, my name is not in the files. On the positive side this means that I was not even close to the group of shady people who knew him, but on the negative side shows that I am clearly not even close to being an “elite scientist” ☹️
@Jashak
Is there even such a thing as an ‘elite scientist’? The only ones who would qualify for this title by dint of their contacts among the rich and powerful tend to be quacks and charlatans, not scientists (Dr Oz, anyone?).
Ok, Richard, let me rephrase, elite might not be the best word. I rather meant “prominent scientist”.
Epstein seemed to have the tendency to surround himself with scientists and other guys with a large public audience, some unfortunately prominent in the “Skeptics” community such as Krauss, Pinker, Dawkins or Shermer.
