Welcome, Nina to join the CHENlab and the Yale Center on Climate Change and Health as a Postdoctoral Associate!
14 January 2022 | Abstract |
15 March 2022 | Manuscript |
We welcome all original research and reviews on the broad perspective of examining health risks associated with non-optimal climatic and meteorological conditions. We are also interested in submissions identifying vulnerable communities and addressing climate injustice. Global and regional studies emphasizing the health impact in low- and middle-income countries are particularly encouraged.
TOPIC Editors: Drs. Kai Chen, Pin Wang, and Shengzhi Sun.

After one year of remote learning in China, Chengyi finally managed to arrive at New Haven. Welcome, Chengyi! The whole city is waiting for you to explore.
This project is funded by the Reckitt Global Hygiene Institute.
This project aims to apply estimate the relationship between extreme precipitation, floods, or drought and risk of childhood diarrhea in LMICs, and to evaluate whether these effects are modified by water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) practices.
