Dr. Guinn joined the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health in July of 2020 after completing postdoctoral training at the University of Louisville – School of Public Health and Information Sciences. As a faculty member, Dr. Guinn teaches public health epidemiology to undergraduate and graduate students. His courses teach the theoretical and practical applications of fundamental epidemiological methods, as well as the historical context that gave rise to modern epidemiology. His research interests include the associations between environmental lead exposure and human health and behavior. Dr. Guinn’s long-term research goals include assessing the magnitude of topsoil lead contamination throughout Louisville, to identify at-risk communities. These goals also include working with local, state, and federal agencies to fund lead abatement programs applicable to Louisville, KY.
