Air pollution and COPD: From epidemiology to intervention
Mary Rice, MD, MPH
Dr. Rice researches how environmental exposures, especially air pollution and climate change, impact the respiratory health of children and adults and the development of interventions to mitigate these health effects. She is a pulmonary critical care physician and the Director of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Institute for Lung Health, where she is Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Director of Research for the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine. She is also the Director of the Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment (Harvard Chan C-CHANGE) and the Mark and Catherine Winkler Associate Professor of Environmental Respiratory Health at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
