Case Notes

UCLA neurologist who received $100K from Epstein and shared student info

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Mark Tramo is a UCLA adjunct professor of neurology whose email correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein spanning roughly 2006-2018 has surfaced in released DOJ documents. Tramo sought research funding from Epstein for neuroscience and music research, receiving at least $125,000 from Epstein. The correspondence includes three controversial email exchanges: one from 2007 offering support to Epstein facing solicitation charges; a 2010 exchange where Tramo forwarded student emails to Epstein (who asked if they were 'cute,' to which Tramo responded 'we'll see! (you're terrible!)'); and multiple emails discussing research on infants. Tramo has not been charged with any crime, and the documents do not allege he had knowledge of Epstein's abuse of minors. However, his emails have sparked significant backlash at UCLA, resulting in removal of his profile from the university's media expert list and a petition with over 6,000 signatures demanding his removal. Tramo maintains he was unaware of the full scope of Epstein's crimes at the time and that his pursuit of funding was standard academic practice.
