Gary Ginsberg is a Clinical Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the Yale School of Public Health and holds an adjunct appointment. He is also the Director of the Center for Environmental Health at the New York State Department of Health. His expertise includes environmental health risk assessment, toxicology, and public health policy. Dr. Ginsberg has served on numerous national committees, including the US EPA’s Science Advisory Board and National Academy of Sciences committees, focusing on biomonitoring, risk methods, and emerging science.
He completed his PhD in 1986 at the University of Connecticut. His research interests encompass identifying hazardous chemicals in consumer products, evaluating children’s environmental risks, constructing vulnerability distributions for toxicant responses, and assessing fish consumption benefits versus risks. His work has addressed synthetic turf fields, cadmium, acrylamide, and genetic polymorphisms in health risks.
Key research outputs include studies on methylmercury’s cardiovascular impacts, cadmium’s kidney disease risks, and synthetic turf toxicity. His book, 'What’s Toxic What’s Not,' bridges science for public understanding. While no specific awards are listed, his committee roles highlight peer recognition in environmental health policy and risk assessment.
Dr. Ginsberg’s advisory and grant activities include reviews for federal agencies (OSHA, CPSC, FDA) and collaborations on public health interventions. He leads the Center for Environmental Health, focusing on translating research into actionable policies to protect vulnerable populations, particularly children and those with genetic susceptibilities.
