Tiina A. Reponen , PhD

Dr. Reponen is Professor Emerita in the Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences, College of Medicine. As an expert in indoor allergens and mold, she served as the principal investigator in several major laboratory and field experiments on airborne allergens, bacteria, and fungi and has directed exposure assessment teams in population-based studies, including the Cincinnati Childhood Allergy and Air Pollution Study (CCAAPS), Marietta study and e-waste study. Dr. Reponen served as the Director of the NIOSH-funded University of Cincinnati Education and Research Center, which includes graduate programs related to occupational health from three colleges: Medicine, Nursing, and Applied Science and Engineering. She has mentored over 65 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at the University of Cincinnati. She has also served on Ph.D. committees and as an external reviewer of Ph.D. theses of several international students (from Finland, Australia, France, and Lithuania). She is the Chair of the NIOSH Board of Scientific Counselors and a member of the Fellows of the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate as well as the Fellows of the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati.  She is also a recipient of the Finland Distinguished Professor Award and the David Sinclair Award from the American Association for Aerosol Research. 

MS: University of Kuopio Kuopio, Finland, 1985 (Environmental Hygiene)

Licentiate of Philosophy : University of Kuopio Kuopio, Finland, 1989 (Environmental Sciences)

PhD: University of Kuopio Kuopio, Finland, 1994 (Environmental Sciences)

Bioaerosols, Mold, Bacteria, Pollen, Allergens, Exposure assessment, Indoor air quality
Dr. Reponen’s research is focused on the exposure assessment of bioaerosols in indoor and industrial environments, including physical and microbiological characterization of airborne actinomycete and fungal spores, the dispersion of bioaerosols under natural and laboratory conditions, and the control of airborne microorganisms by filtration. In her field studies, she is collaborating with epidemiologists in investigating the health effects of particle and bioaerosol exposures.
