Linda Fried: From Redefining Aging to Spearheading Research on Climate and Health
BY ANURADHA VARANASI |MARCH 8, 2022
Fried started the Mailman School’s Climate and Health Program along with Joe Graziano, who was the chair of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia. They recruited Patrick Kinney, an air pollution epidemiologist, who is now an associate professor at the public health school, to lead the program. Today, it is led by Jeff Shaman.

The New York metropolitan area and the far reaches of Kenya have benefited equally from Patrick Kinney’s work. Kinney believes that the harmony of all living things depends not only upon the well-being of people but on the health of the environment. His work is therefore motivated by the twin goals of improving public health while at the same time maintaining and restoring the earth’s natural systems.
Jeffrey Shaman is a Professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences and Director of the Climate and Health Program at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. He studies the survival, transmission and ecology of infectious agents, including the effects of meteorological and hydrological conditions on these processes. Work-to-date has primarily focused on mosquito-borne and respiratory pathogens. He uses mathematical and statistical models to describe, understand, and forecast the transmission dynamics of these disease systems, and to investigate the broader effects of climate and weather on human health.
