Michelle L. Bell, PhD

Mary E. Pinchot Professor at the School of the Environment and Professor of Environmental Health; Affiliated Faculty, Yale Institute for Global Health

Dr. Bell researches how environmental conditions, especially air pollution and weather, impact public health. Her work bridges disciplines of epidemiology, atmospheric science, engineering, and biostatistics. The overall aim of this work is to perform policy-relevant research that contributes to well-informed decision-making and to greater public understanding of environmental health hazards. Work on climate change includes research on how a changing climate could affect health through tropospheric ozone, weather including heat waves, and forest fires. Ongoing and recent projects include work in the U.S., China, Australia, South Korea, England, Chile, Mexico, Brazil, India, Nepal, the Caribbean, and Taiwan.
