Biography
Eileen Storey, MD, MPH is the Co-Director of the Center for Public Health and Health Policy at the University of Connecticut, Chief of the Division of Public Health and Population Sciences, and Director of the Center for Indoor Environments and Health at the University of Connecticut Health Center. The Center for Public Health and Health Policy coordinates public health activities across the University system and oversees graduate education in public health. An occupational medicine physician and internist, Dr. Storey also works with a team of physicians, nurses, industrial hygienists, and environmental health specialists to evaluate the impact of indoor environments on health, particularly respiratory conditions.
Dr. Storey completed her medical degree at the Harvard Medical School (1978), a Master of Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health (1978), and Internal Medicine training at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV (1981).

Current Research Interests
Her research focuses on the spectrum of respiratory disease associated with indoor environments, with particular interest in the relationship between building-related upper respiratory syndromes (rhinitis, sinusitis) and the development of lower respiratory syndromes (asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis). Her team is working to develop exposure assessment tools that will help to better characterize indoor risk factors.
