Asher Rosinger

Asher Rosinger is a human biologist. Upon completion of his doctorate, Dr. Rosinger was selected as only one of two anthropologists to serve as an Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At Pennsylvania State University, he is an associate professor and the Program Area Lead for the Environmental Health Sciences initiative. He founded and directs the Water, Health, and Nutrition Laboratory (https://hhd.psu.edu/bbh/research/research-labs/water-health-and-nutrition-lab) which aims to understand cross-cultural variation in how humans meet their water needs across distinct ecological contexts and how this relates to both acute and long-term health, hydration status, nutritional status, stress, and disease risk. He works to understand how extreme climatic events affect health and human biology and the coping strategies associated with these rapid changes.
