- Biography
Dr. Christina H. Fuller (ScD) is an Associate Professor in Population Health Sciences at the Georgia State University School of Public Health and an affiliate of the Urban Studies Institute. She is an environmental health scientist dedicated to research that investigates relevant questions concerning environmental exposures and impacts. Her research aligns three related areas: (1) fate and transport of particles and gases in the environment; (2) disproportionate burden of environmental exposures and outcomes on marginalized populations; and (3) devising and testing novel solutions to near-roadway particulate matter exposures. Dr. Fuller is dedicated to community engagement in research and the democratization of information that promotes environmental equity.
Currently, Dr. Fuller leads a study in the Atlanta metro area testing the ability for near-roadway vegetative barriers to mitigate particulate matter exposures. She also examines the joint effects of air pollution and social factors on cardiovascular health in diverse populations. She was a Co-Investigator with the Environmental Health Core of the School of Public Health’s Center of Excellence for Health Disparities Research (CoEx) where she led projects characterizing relationships between air quality, transportation and demographic factors. She is co-editor of the recent book Ambient Combustion Ultrafine Particles and Health that summarizes the emerging issue of ambient ultrafine particles derived from combustion sources and their health effects.
