- Biography
Associate Professor
Associate Chair, Department of Population Health SciencesDr. Christine Stauber is an Associate Professor of Environmental Health and the Associate Chair for the Department of Population Health Sciences in the School of Public Health at Georgia State University. She received her Ph.D. in Environmental Science from the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has over 15 years of experience in environmental health sciences.
For two decades, Dr. Stauber has worked on international issues and has been the recipient of multiple international awards including a faculty Fulbright award to Brazil. The overall theme of her research is the examination of environmental exposures in resource-limited settings. The majority of this work has focused on the pivotal role of exposure to microbiologically contaminated drinking water and the associated health impact on children.
In addition to her work on drinking water quality, Dr. Stauber initiated a line of research focused on environmental exposures, urban health and disparities. This was recently supported by a National Institutes of Health grant to examine two environmental hazards in the Atlanta area: extreme heat and radon.
Dr. Stauber teaches graduate level courses in environmental health including courses on the role of the public health laboratory and global water issues. She also leads a study abroad course examining collective health, research and practice in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, where she studied both as a student and a faculty member.
