Summary
Ashlinn Quinn is an environmental epidemiologist and Program Officer at NIEHS with 12 years of experience translating field research on air pollution, cookstoves, and extreme weather into funded programs and policy-relevant science. She combines rigorous quantitative skills—epidemiology, statistics, R programming, exposure assessment—with hands-on primary data collection and intervention evaluation across settings from New York City apartments to rural Ghana. At NIH she has coordinated trans-agency initiatives on household air pollution and led implementation science collaborations to move clean cooking research toward real-world impact. Her background blends academic rigor (PhD, Columbia Mailman) with practical program management and science outreach, enabling multidisciplinary teams to design feasible, statistically robust studies. Unusually for a program officer, she also has deep experience in teaching, public media outreach, and curriculum development, which she leverages to communicate findings to diverse audiences. Based in Fort Collins, CO, she focuses on solutions at the intersection of climate, respiratory health, and global development.
