Ginger L. Chew

Assistant Professor of Environmental Health Sciences,  Mailman School of Public Health


Dr. Ginger Chew’s research focuses on the role of indoor biogenic agents in the development and exacerbation of respiratory illness, notably asthma. Dr. Chew's research addresses three aspects of indoor biogenic agents in respiratory illness. These include detection methods for low-level exposure environments, assessing exposures to airborne biogenic agents in indoor environments other than homes (e.g., measuring indoor allergens in NYC public schools), and investigating the role of multi-faceted interventions in NYC apartments to decrease the allergen burden in impoverished communities. A major goal of Dr. Chew’s research is the accurate and representative exposure assessment of biogenic agents early in life in order to possibly decrease the risk of childhood asthma.
