Career
Lundy Braun received her PhD from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in 1982.[1]
Braun studies differences in health relating to race, and is professor of pathology and laboratory medicine and Africana studies. Her reviews of research around algorithms using race adjustments have found that race is not often defined, and she raises the question of the role of race in medicine.[2] Her research paper "Defining race/ethnicity and explaining difference in research studies on lung function", published in the European Respiratory Journal in 2012, looked at almost 100 years of research pertaining to lung disease.[3]
