Ten new faculty members have joined the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health this year. “Our school has a long tradition of attracting great talent to UCLA, and our latest group of new faculty is no exception,” said Dr. Ron Brookmeyer, dean of the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health.
The UCLA Fielding School of Public Health has received nearly $1.5 million in federal funding designed to support the school’s graduate students, in large part to reinforce the importance of the United States’ public health workforce.
On September 17 at UCLA’s Dickson Court, the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health hosted a Graduation Celebration to honor the school’s Classes of 2020 and 2021. The ceremony featured more than 60 UCLA Fielding graduates who earned Master of Public Health, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in 2020 and 2021. The status of COVID-19 at the time did not allow for traditional graduation ceremonies to be held.
UCLA Fielding School of Public Health faculty, students, staff, and graduates will attend and present at the 2022 American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Meeting in Boston and online: "APHA 2022 — 150 Years of Creating the Healthiest Nation: Leading the Path Toward Equity"

UCLA scientists are embarking on a comprehensive, five-year study to understand the health consequences of what is, to this day, the nation’s largest natural gas blowout. From 2015-16, an estimated 109,000 metric tons of methane was released into the air from the Southern California Gas Company’s Aliso Canyon underground gas storage facility in the San Fernando Valley.
On Nov. 1, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health awarded roughly $21 million to UCLA to conduct a wide-ranging assessment of the disaster.
A team of UCLA researchers has been awarded $20,993,333 by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to conduct the Aliso Canyon Disaster Health Research Study.
For people living with HIV, sticking to a prescribed medication regimen is a critical part of staying healthy. However, having to deal with the side effects caused by those medications —nausea and dizziness among them — can lead people to skip doses.
Now, a UCLA-led study of 130 people with HIV suggests that a tiny piece of technology could play a big role in encouraging people to take their medicine on time.
The world’s most influential researchers include 39 UCLA scholars - and five of them are faculty at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health.
I was trained in mathematics, statistics, and genetics. My work on statistical genomics and biomedical informatics focuses on developing statistically powerful and computationally efficient tools for biobank scale genetic association studies, metagenomics data analysis, and personalized treatment prediction using electronic medical records (EHRs) data. I work at the interface of statistics, genetics, and biomedical informatics and aim to better utilize “big” health-related data for personalized diabetes care.
