Abdulrahman El-Sayed
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University. My research interests include the social production of health, ethnic and socioeconomic health inequalities, and complex systems approaches in social epidemiology. Alongside my main research interests, I maintain a role in several clinical research projects. I am also involved in a number of health communications and community service initiatives.
Prior to joining the faculty at Columbia, I completed my medical degree at Columbia University as a Soros Fellow, as well as a DPhil in Public Health at Oxford University, where I was a Rhodes Scholar (Michigan and Oriel, 2009). I am a 2007 graduate of the University of Michigan, where I completed a Bachelor of Science with Highest Distinction in Biology and Political Science as the top graduate in the College of Literature, Sicence, and the Arts.
Alongside my academic responsibilities, I am a Fellow at Demos, a non-profit think tank based in New York. My commentary engages the public debate about issues of health policy in the US and globally, with a particular focus on disease prevention in light of epidemiologic trends and emerging public health challenges. My commentary has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, CNN, and the Huffington Post, as well as Demos's blog, www.policyshop.net. I am also the Associate Editor for Commentary and Opinion at The 2x2 Project--a media venue dedicated to translating public health science to the broader public sponsored by Columbia's Department of Epidemiology. I also appear regularly as a health commentator on Al Jazeera America.
In my free time, I enjoy time with my wife, Sarah, reading, writing, exercising, college sports, engaging in great conversation with inspiring people, and cooking.
