Greetings! My name is Alein Y. Haro-Ramos, PhD, MPH (she/her/ella). I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health, Society, and Behavior at the Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health at UC Irvine. I was formerly a UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the department.

I earned a PhD in health policy from UC Berkeley, specializing in Population Health Science, and an MPH from UCLA. My research focuses on health and social inequities across the life course among racialized and low-income communities in the U.S., with a particular emphasis on the intersection between race, ethnicity, and citizenship status. I am dedicated to using research findings to inform policy and practice solutions aimed at remediating and preventing the exacerbation of health disparities.

My research has been supported by the Health Policy Research Scholars program, a program by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment at UC Berkeley/UCLA, and the Graduate Division Berkeley Fellowship. My work has been published in the American Journal of Public Health, Journal of Immigrant Health, Preventive Medicine, Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities, and the American Journal of Preventive Medicine Focus, among others.
