Meet Dean Fallin
The James W. Curran Dean of Public Health
With more than 250 scientific publications that have been cited more than 22,000 times, Fallin’s globally-recognized research focuses on applying genetic epidemiology methods to studies of neuropsychiatric disorders including autism, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder and to developing applications and methods for genetic and epigenetic epidemiology, as applied to mental health and development.
Prior to beginning my role as dean, I repeatedly found myself asking my future colleagues what makes Rollins special. The unanimous response was, “the people.” At Rollins, you will find exceptional researchers, students, and academics, but also outstanding human beings who are approachable, empathetic, and kind.
Moving Public Health Forward
Dean Fallin has led a new strategic planning process for the Rollins School of Public Health, launching critical initiatives across education, research, practice, and more.
Although our school is just over 30 years old, we have already garnered a deep bench of talented and creative researchers making discoveries and translating findings into scalable practice from molecular to behavioral, environmental, and policy work.
