Research Interests

Dr. Cullen has explored a range of clinical and epidemiologic aspects of the impact of the physical environment on health, most recently in the areas of asthma and chronic lung disease. The focus of this work has been the application of biologic markers of health effects as an alternative to traditional epidemiologic design in the study of occupational diseases. Over the past decade he has been exploring the interactions between social environment and physical factors on the patterns of disease and injury within industrial workforces, with particular interest in the effects of work organization.
