Cathryn Tonne

Research Professor Clima, contaminació atmosfèrica, natura i salut urbana

Cathryn Tonne is an environmental epidemiologist focusing on the health effects of air pollution from outdoor and household sources and their intersection with sustainable development. Her research has investigated exposure patterns and health effects of air pollution in high- as well as low- and middle-income countries.

One of her main research interests is in the health co-benefits of climate change mitigation. She is co-director of the Lancet Countdown for Health and Climate Change in Europe and leads the working group focused on mitigation actions and health co-benefits. She coordinates CATALYSE, a five-year Horizon Europe project focused on climate change and health and previously led the European Research Council funded Cardiovascular Health effects of Air pollution in Telangana, India.

She was awarded the Tony McMichael Mid-term career award from the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology in 2022 for her contributions to environmental epidemiology and has held several competitive personal fellowships from funders in the US, UK, and Spain (Ramon y Cajal 2017-2021).

Her doctoral training was in Epidemiology and Environmental Health at the Harvard School of Public Health (ScD). She has a Master of Public Health, with a focus on environmental health, from Columbia University, and a BS in Chemistry from UC Berkeley.
