Dr. Hopkins' professional experience includes serving as deputy director (1984-1987) and acting director (1985) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He was an assistant professor of tropical public health at Harvard School of Public Health, and he directed the Smallpox Eradication/Measles Control Program in Sierra Leone, West Africa.

Dr. Hopkins has authored numerous articles for scientific journals and textbooks on a wide variety of public health subjects, including smallpox, yaws, onchocerciasis (river blindness), and dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease). He is the author of "Princes and Peasants: Smallpox in History," which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1983 and was reissued in 2002 with the title "The Greatest Killer: Smallpox in History." He has received numerous awards, including the CDC Medal of Excellence, the Distinguished Service Medal of the U.S. Public Health Service, and a MacArthur Fellowship in 1995 for his leadership in the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease. Currently he serves on the MacArthur Foundation's board of directors.
