Joseph G. Allen is an American academic and public health expert.[1] He is currently the director of the Healthy Buildings program at Harvard University's T. H. Chan School of Public Health, where he is also an associate professor.
Early life and education
Allen graduated from Boston College with a degree in biology, and from Boston University School of Public Health with a Master of Public Health degree (environmental health) and a Doctor of Science degree (exposure assessment, environmental epidemiology, biostatistics).
Career
Much of Allen's work revolves around the emerging concept of healthy buildings and the impact of buildings and indoor air quality on human health.[2][3] During the COVID-19 pandemic, much of his public work concerned the role of building hygiene in public health, especially in the context of the workforce returning to office spaces after an extended period of remote working during the pandemic.[2][4] He publicized these considerations through op-eds in major publications, as well as with appearances on television news programs,[3][4] and often used these platforms to correct misinformation surrounding transmission of the virus on surfaces and in the air.[3]
Through the Healthy Buildings program at Harvard, Allen was involved in propagating research on airborne transmission of COVID-19, collaborating with aerosol researchers including Linsey Marr, Donald Milton, and Lidia Morawska to incorporate the results of their research into public policy proposals on building design and operation.[3]
Allen is a member of the Scientific and Medical Editorial Review Panel of the American Lung Association.[5]
Covid-19
Allen served on The Lancet Covid-19 Commission[6] and was Chair of The Lancet Covid-19 Commission Task Force on Safe Work, Safe School, and Safe Travel.[7]
