Philip J. Landrigan, MD, MSc is a pediatrician and epidemiologist. He is Professor of Biology and Director of the Program in Global Public Health and the Common Good at Boston College. He was previously Professor and Chair of Preventive Medicine and Dean for Global Health in the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. He is a member of the US National Academy of Medicine.

For four decades, Dr. Landrigan has been a leader in environmental and occupational health. His early studies of lead poisoning demonstrated that lead is toxic to children even at very low levels and contributed to the US government’s decision to remove lead from paint and gasoline. A study he led at the US National Academy of Sciences defined children’s unique susceptibilities to pesticides and other toxic chemicals and catalyzed fundamental revamping of US pesticide policy to protect children’s health. In 1997-98, he guided EPA in establishing the Office of Children's Health Protection.

From 2015-2017, Dr. Landrigan co-chaired the Lancet Commission on Pollution & Health, which found that pollution causes 9 million deaths annually and is an existential threat to planetary health.  To continue the work of this Lancet Commission, Dr. Landrigan has formed the Global Observatory on Pollution and Health at Boston College. The Observatory collaborates with UN Environment and the Centre Scientifique de Monaco and is currently undertaking studies of the Impacts of Air Pollution India on Health, Human Capital and the Economy; the Intersection between Pollution and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa; and Human Health and Ocean Pollution.
