YCCCH Seminar Series with Dr. Allan Just on "Environmental epidemiology from space: leveraging satellite-based exposure models to advance climate and health"

Join the Yale Center on Climate Change and Health for the Spring 2023 Seminar Series. On January 30, we will be joined by Dr. Allan Just, environmental epidemiologist and Associate Professor of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Just will present his lecture, "Environmental epidemiology from space: leveraging satellite-based exposure models to advance climate and health."

Dr. Allan Just's areas of research include children's environmental health, air pollution modeling with satellite data, climate and health epidemiology, and epigenomics. His research investigates how better estimates of the quality of the air we breathe and the temperature in our neighborhoods reveal previously underestimated exposure disparities and health impacts. In 2022, he was awarded an NIEHS Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) R01 for his five-year project, “Extreme temperature, humidity, air pollution and spontaneous preterm birth”.

After obtaining his ScB in environmental science at Brown, Dr. Just received his PhD in environmental health science from Columbia University. He completed postdoctoral training in environmental epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health before joining the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2015.
