James Hadler is a Adjunct Professor at the Yale School of Public Health, Department of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases. He holds concurrent appointments as a Clinical Professor of Epidemiology and serves as senior infectious disease consultant to the Connecticut Emerging Infections Program, Yale Emerging Infections Program, New York City Department of Health, and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists. His career spans 25 years as Connecticut State Epidemiologist (1984–2008), where he led responses to HIV, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, West Nile virus, anthrax, SARS, E. coli outbreaks, and MRSA.
- MD from Columbia University (1972)
- MPH from Yale University (1982)
- BS in Zoology and Chemistry from McGill University (1968)
Dr. Hadler's research focuses on the epidemiology of infectious diseases and their socioeconomic determinants. He specializes in disease surveillance, vaccine impact evaluation, and health disparity analysis for conditions like HPV-related diseases, influenza, and bacterial infections. His work integrates population-based studies, case-control designs, and public health policy assessments.
Recent publications demonstrate a thematic progression toward healthcare-associated infections and vaccine-preventable diseases, with methodological emphasis on longitudinal tracking and socioeconomic stratification. Articles span topics from Clostridioides difficile recurrence patterns to HPV type distribution and pneumococcal disease disparities.
Scientific recognitions include:
- Charles C. Shepard Science Award (2004) for pneumococcal vaccine research
- Pump Handle Award (2007) for applied epidemiology
- APHA Paper of the Year (2014) on jail inmate self-harm
- 2014 Distinguished Student Mentor (Yale)
He has mentored over 300 MPH/doctoral students through the Connecticut Emerging Infections Program, where he leads training initiatives. His current work continues to bridge infectious disease modeling and social determinant analysis through collaborations with CDC, Yale, and state health departments.
