Carlos Santos-Burgoa is a Professor of Global Health and Environmental and Occupational Health and Director of Global Health Policy at GWU. He studies public health functions, and their role in equity, including the organizational development of health authorities and regulatory agencies. His interest is in toxic chemicals risk analysis, management and control of their population and climate impacts, and public health approaches to crises in epidemics and disasters in developing economies.

 

He is leading an initiative on Unlocking Public Health Protection, with a special interest in the Public Health Regulatory Institutions. For this, he has surveyed 10 countries to identify lessons learned through a comparative international study and re-framing the function. He is in the third phase of the study on the health impacts of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, now working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology to identify the means to protect populations. Previously he led the study on attribution for the excess mortality from the hurricane, contributing to the knowledge required given the increased frequency and intensity of natural disasters from climate change. He is currently developing the Cohort of Health Workers at the IMSS in Mexico, studying the 20-year mortality experience from 2003 to 2023 and considering their chemical, biological, physical, ergonomic, and psychosocial risks. He is the founder of the Collaborative Mundo Quimico in Mexico, advancing public policies, surveillance, and interventions in this field, including combating the epidemic of children's lead intoxication, and identifying with his post-doctoral fellow, industrial pollution and congenital birth defects.

He works on risk factors leading to chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), environmental conditions including chemical substances, and climate change and disasters. He has worked on risk and impact communication, and social marketing of health. He supports Latin American countries’ institutional capacity regional and global intergovernmental health organizations, and international trade. He collaborated with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on the report “Public Health Regulation Abroad”. He is co-convener of the regulatory working group of Children in All Policies 2030 (CAP2030) with FLACSO, UCL, UNICEF, and WHO. He was the principal advisor to the Comprehensive National Policy on Chemicals Management for Mexico’s General Health Council.  He contributed to the management of COVID-19 considering criteria for resource allocation and excess mortality surveillance systems at his university, at the US National Capital Region, and advising Mexico’s General Health Council.

His professional practice has led him to confront public health crises of national and international concern. This included the identification of excess mortality from air pollution in Mexico City (1991), the lead intoxication in the smelter town of Coahuila (1998-2001), the Popocatepetl eruption (2001), the cyanide incident in Hidalgo (2001), the toxic algal bloom massive intoxication (2002), the Villahermosa Industrial City flooding (2007), the Influenza A(H1N1) pandemic – from the identification to the nonpharmaceutical interventions – (2009), the excess mortality from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico (2017 and 2020), and the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-22) supporting the University intervention and policy design in Mexico.

He practiced clinical medicine in Mexico City´s slums, the southern indigenous and Mayan midlands communities. He co-led the Essential Health Needs on Health project in COPLAMAR, Mexico, a milestone in health systems transformation towards a universal health system and planning with an equity lens. His doctoral dissertation identified the carcinogenesis of 1,3-butadiene in a multinational occupational cohort, seminal research that generated a rigorous occupational health standard, and further air pollution monitoring of this pollutant. His research includes atmospheric and indoor air pollution, mining, heavy metals, ecosystem health, pesticides, infectious diseases, and industrial environmental and occupational health. He was Dean of the School of Public Health of Mexico at the National Institute of Public Health (NIPH), Director General of the Health Environment and Work Institute, Director General at Mexico´s Ministry of Health, and Senior Advisor and Acting Department Director at the Pan American Health Organization (WHO office for Americas).

At Mexico´s Minister of Health, he developed the Federal Commission for Sanitary Risk Protection, the Strategy for Health Services Provision Organizational Reform, and the Health Promotion Operation Model, seeking to empower people’s capacity to organize and act on health. He was a country representative to NAFTA side Agreements, the Earth Summit of Johannesburg (2002), and bilateral environmental, food, and drugs negotiations with the USA and Canada. As an international officer he contributed to regional strategies and resolutions (Health and Human Security, Urban Health, NCDs, Childhood Obesity, and the draft Environmental Health Strategy), and three world summits negotiations of the outcome documents from the UN-High-Level Meeting on NCDs, the regional consultation for the World Conference on Social Determinants of Health and the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Río+20).

He holds an MD from Mexico´s National Autonomous University and a Ph.D. in environmental epidemiology from Johns Hopkins University. He is a Graduate of the Program for Senior Executive Business Management (AD-2) at the Pan-American Institute of Business Administration.

At GWU he trained nine generations of global health policy practitioners and directly advised more than 36 master and doctoral dissertations. There he teaches Global Health Policy Analysis, Cross-Cultural Approaches to Global Health, National and Global Public Health Systems, Global Control Programs on Chronic Diseases, and in collaboration with the School of Public Health of Mexico at the National Institute of Public Health, the course on Introduction to Public Health Regulatory Institutions. This adds to his previous experience with 24 other doctoral or master’s dissertations at NIPH and extensive teaching on longitudinal epidemiological designs. He has presented multiple keynote speeches and scientific papers at scientific congresses. He has published more than 77 peer-reviewed papers, 38 technical reports, and 35 book chapters. He is a Visiting Research Professor at the National Institute of Public Health and a member of the Strategic Advisory Board on Environmental Health and Climate Change at the Pan-American Health Organization. He is an elected fellow of the National Academy of Medicine of Mexico and the Collegium Ramazzini. He has received several awards; he appreciates especially the “2006 Distinguished Alumni Award” from Johns Hopkins University, the Rockefeller Bellagio Fellowship of 2023, and the “Recognition” by the NIPH/SPH for his life contribution to environmental and occupational health and the teaching of Public Health.

He currently lives with his wife in Bethesda, Maryland, and spends periods in his home country Mexico, where he enjoys his family and grandchildren. Late in his personal life, he has added to his love for friendship and nature walking, a renewed passion for music, and is expanding his emotions through flute playing.

Dr. Santos-Burgoa current area of research interest include comparative public health regulatory institutions and systems as focused on chronic (non-communicable) diseases, food, obesity, environment, psychoactive substances, and health care systems. He is focusing on strengthening the regulatory capacity of national government and regional and global organizations. He is addressing the added value of regulatory institutions in fostering development, tackling inequities, including the interest to protect public health within regional trade and investment agreements.

His research also has drawn in his extensive experience in public health crisis, addressing extreme natural events related disasters as well as on pandemics such as Influenza A(H1N1) and COVID-19. He has lead research on Hurricane Maria Mortality in Puerto Rico, learning about the impact on excess mortality, the predisposing factors and inequities, as well as the impact of the health care infrastructure on mortality. 

His research has been on hydrocarbon exposure (1, 3-butadiene, he demonstrated for the first time its human carcinogenicity), pesticides (including DDT and other persistent pollutants), particulate pollution (urban air pollution and indoor), mining (lead, coal, and manganese), heavy metals and ecosystem health (including climate variability and change) in the occupational or environmental health area. He participated on the Trinational Project on Continental Pollutant Pathways. He has expanded the notion of human security into the health field. His professional interests include globalization and health within a Human Security and Health framework, pesticides risks and management, urban health, inter-sectoral action on health, health system stewardship and regulatory capacity, health systems, and social determinants of health. He has focused mainly on chronic diseases (cancer, respiratory diseases). His methodological interests are on longitudinal methods, human exposure assessment, health surveillance, risk assessment and risk communication, economic analysis, policy analysis and impact evaluation. He has experience in organizational change and development.

He is currently developing projects on:

  • Comparative Analysis of Public Health Regulatory Institutions capacity at the national and local level, in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. 
  • Environmental factors on structural congenital anomalies
  • Lead intoxication in childhood and adult criminal behavior 
  • Historical prospective mortality cohort study of health care workers’ occupational exposures in Mexico
