Jessica H. Leibler, DrPH, ScM is an Associate Professor and environmental epidemiologist in the Department of Environmental Health at the Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH). Her research examines environmental determinants of health during adolescence, an understudied developmental window with heightened relevance for chronic diseases of adulthood. Dr. Leibler’s work applies molecular epidemiology tools to study early biological effects across kidney, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems, integrating biomarkers of effect and subclinical dysfunction with advanced exposure assessment methods.

Her interests span multiple environmental domains, including metals, synthetic chemicals, particulate matter, extreme temperatures, and infectious agents. Dr. Leibler is Principal Investigator of an NIH-funded longitudinal international cohort study of kidney health among adolescents and leads additional projects on respiratory health and heat exposures in school and household settings. Earlier in her career, she studied the emergence of zoonotic influenza viruses and antibiotic-resistant bacteria associated with industrial food animal production, focusing on risks to food animal workers and their communities.

Dr. Leibler is also a dedicated educator and mentor. She serves as Director of the DrPH Program at BUSPH and Associate Chair for Education in the Department of Environmental Health. In 2017, she received the School’s highest teaching honor, the Norman A. Scotch Award for Excellence in Teaching, as well as national recognition from the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) through the Early Career Public Health Teaching Award. She played a central role in developing the Department’s new MPH Certificate in Environmental Health and Justice and the BUSPH Online MPH program. Since 2020, she has served as the co-host of BUSPH's Free Associations epidemiology journal club podcast, which received a Gold Anthem Award in 2024 for health communication.

Dr. Leibler holds a Doctor of Public Health degree in Environmental Health Sciences from Johns Hopkins University, a Master of Science in Health Policy and Management from Harvard University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Environmental Studies from Williams College.
