David Hill

David A. Hill, MD, is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Yale University School of Medicine and Chair of the Northeast Regional Board of the American Lung Association. His work focuses on asthma diagnosis/treatment optimization, climate change impacts on respiratory health, and healthcare disparities. He emphasizes early aggressive asthma management and the role of biologics in severe cases. Dr. Hill graduated from Lehigh University (BA, 1987) and Medical College of Pennsylvania (MD, 1991).

Research interests include asthma epidemiology, environmental triggers (air pollution/pollution), and public health policy. He actively advocates for smoking cessation integration into clinical practice and highlights socioeconomic factors affecting asthma outcomes. Recent work addresses ozone/pollen increases linked to climate change, advocating for clinician awareness of patients' environmental exposures.

Publications span riboswitch mechanisms in bacterial gene regulation, fluoride toxicity in plants, and RNA-based sensing systems in microbes. He emphasizes translational research bridging molecular mechanisms and population health.
