Mark Janko

Assistant Research Professor of Global Health

Mark Janko is an Assistant Professor of Climate Change and Global Health at DGHI, where he is one of the founding PIs of the Amazon Research Consortium for Climate Change and One Health (https://sites.duke.edu/amazonresearchconsortium), a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, multi-country Climate and Health Observatory. A Geographer and Biostatistician by training, his work largely focuses on how climate and environmental variability shape demographic and health outcomes, and he has spent over a decade working in the Amazon and Congo Basins, mostly on malaria, land use, and climate. Since joining the Duke faculty, he has expanded his research. He is leading studies on climate adaptation, human mobility (including migration), and diffusion of vector-borne diseases and viruses of pandemic and panzootic potential in other tropical ecosystems. Finally, he developed and currently teaches DGHI's first undergraduate course on Climate Change and Global Health.
