Faculty Distinction Fund Awardee

Justin V. Remais, PhD

Dr. Remais is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at Emory's Rollins School of Public Health. Prior to joining the Emory faculty, Dr. Remais was a research scientist in the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health at the University of California, Berkeley.

His research bridges host, environmental, and parasitic interactions using mathematical and statistical modeling of host-environment interactions, landscape genetics, and field epidemiology to illuminate the fundamental processes of disease spread in changing environments. He has focused much of his research on identifying and quantifying the environmental determinants of Schistosoma japonicum, the causal agent of schistosomiasis in East Asia, at global, regional, and molecular scales with the goal of revealing the mechanistic links between the fate and transport of parasites, patterns of disease, and athropogenic environmental change.

Dr. Remais received his doctorate in environmental health sciences and a master of science degree in environmental engineering from the University of California at Berkeley.
