Center Affiliation and Expertise: Associate Center Member, Population Health Thematic Area
The Flunker lab seeks to characterize, quantify, and refine spatiotemporal estimates of environmental and occupational exposures and associated adverse health outcomes among at-risk populations. Research areas of interest include exposures driven by climate change and natural disasters, namely extreme heat and wildfire smoke, biomarkers of exposure, respiratory health, illness/injury surveillance, and exposure-outcome statistical modeling.
