About the speaker
Rachel Morello-Frosch, PhD, MPH, is an environmental health scientist, epidemiologist, and professor at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health and Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management. For over 25 years, her research has examined structural determinants of environmental health and how co-exposures to chemical and non-chemical stressors impact health. Much of her work has examined this question in the context of exposures to ambient air pollution, drinking water contaminants, endocrine disrupting chemicals, extreme weather, and effects on perinatal and developmental outcomes. In addition to using community-engaged approaches in her work, Rachel also collaborates with regulatory agencies to develop science-policy tools to assess the cumulative impacts of multiple environmental and social factors that inform regulatory decision-making. Morello-Frosch is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine and a 2025-26 Harvard Radcliffe Fellow.
