Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK) is proud to host a luncheon conversation with Dr. F. DuBois Bowman, Dean of the University of Michigan School of Public Health, on the importance of working together to fight cancer and chronic diseases with partners around the world, including in Southeast Asia and China.  How can schools bolster their cooperative work to address chronic disease through prevention and treatment?  What is U-M’s approach to fostering cutting-edge research to find innovative treatments?  How can the School’s focus on building healthy and livable cities, the role of AI in the future of healthcare, and on training the next generation of healthcare leaders, offer lessons and opportunities for future collaboration with partners abroad?

A renowned expert in the statistical analysis of large complex data sets, F. DuBois Bowman is dean of the University of Michigan (UM) School of Public Health. He joined the school in 2018 and leads the organization with expertise in biostatistics, environmental health sciences, epidemiology, health behavior & health equity, health management and policy, and nutritional sciences.

Dr. Bowman’s research program mines massive data sets and has important implications for mental and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, schizophrenia, and substance addiction. His work also explores the impact of environmental exposures on brain function and structure in youth.

Under Dr. Bowman’s leadership, Michigan Public Health launched a school-wide interdisciplinary research initiative pursuing innovative solutions to prevent firearm injuries, create healthy and equitable cities, control infectious diseases, and pursue health equity. The school’s research portfolio exceeds $100 million in expenditures annually. The school has also expanded and refined its distinctive educational programs, which support over 1,300 students. Partnering with the school community, Dr. Bowman has also led efforts to establish a culture of leadership, service, and inclusion.

Dr. Bowman received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from Morehouse College, a Master of Science degree in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan, and a PhD in Biostatistics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
