Researcher and health policy expert Barry R. Bloom was named the next dean of the School of Public Health, President Neil L. Rudenstine announced on June 11.
A microbiology and immunology professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, Bloom brings a scientific perspective to important public health issues, Rudenstine said.
"Behind his many accomplishments lies a devotion to illuminating the fundamental mechanisms of disease and to improving the health of human communities around the world," Rudenstine said in a statement.
Bloom is a major proponent of using current research in crafting health policy decisions to prevent the spread of infectious diseases such as AIDS and tuberculosis.
