Kellogg J. Schwab, Associate Professor and Director, Center for Water and Health With colleagues, Schwab initiated the Johns Hopkins University Global Water Program. It integrates researchers from public health, engineering, behavior, policy, and economic disciplines to address the critical triangle of water, food, and energy and achieve sustainable, scalable solutions for domestic and international water needs. His research focuses on environmental microbiology and engineering with an emphasis on the fate and transport of pathogenic microorganisms in water, food, and the environment. With federal and state health laboratories, Schwab has investigated waterborne and foodborne outbreaks of viral gastroenteritis. He also investigates how human pathogens, such as noroviruses, hepatitis A virus, rotaviruses, Campylobacter, antibiotic resistant E. coli and enterococci, Cryptosporidium parvum, Toxoplasma gondii, and molds such as Aspergillus persist and are transported through water, air, and food. He is evaluating the effects of pollution on urban streams and the Chesapeake Bay, and facilitating ways to provide potable water in low-income countries. Schwab received his Ph.D. degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
