Ronnie Levin, MA is an instructor in the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She has been studying the exposures and health effects of lead for more than 40 years. Prior to her time at the Chan School, she worked at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for over 37 years, writing regulations for lead in gasoline and drinking water. Her work on these regulations, including the methods and analyses developed, and other water quality studies has had a major impact on reducing lead exposures for all Americans. Recently, her research on lead with Center member Joel Schwartz, PhD, showed the cost-savings of reducing lead in drinking water, providing evidence for the EPA’s proposed requirement to replace all lead pipes within 10 years. Earlier this year, she was named by Time as one of the 100 individuals who most influenced global health in 2024.
Maitreyi Mazumdar, MD, MPH is a pediatric neurologist at Boston Children’s Hospital. Her research program focuses on the role of environmental hazards play in the neurological development of children. Dr. Mazumdar’s studies take place in Bangladesh where arsenic contamination of groundwater has affected over 100 million people.
