Dr. Mark R. Cullen holds the position of Professor of General Internal Medicine at Stanford School of Medicine in Stanford, California. He was formerly with the Yale University School of Medicine, where he held the positions of Professor of Medicine and Public Health and Director of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
He received his medical degree in 1976 from Yale University School of Medicine, and completed his residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital University. He is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Preventative Medicine.
Most of Dr. Cullen's career has been focused on occupational and environmental causes of disease. Soon after he became a practicing physician, he began researching the biologic effects of asbestos, solvents, lead and beryllium in the workplace. He was a Co-PI on a CARET trial to investigate the prevention of lung cancer with beta carotene and Vitamin A, primarily because of his study of mesothelioma. During the 1990s he started an occupational asthma project that integrated clinical and mechanical elements.
He has published numerous articles in an assortment of scientific and medical journals, and is the co-editor for the Textbook of Clinical Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Dr. Cullen has authored or co-authored more than four dozen papers on workplace exposure to asbestos, solvents and lead. He has been an advisor to many corporations and federal agencies and is an elected member of the Institute of Medicine.
Almost from the time he received his medical degree, Dr. Cullen has been a proponent of occupational and environmental medicine as a sub-specialty. His work in this area led to the Occupational and Environmental Program, created in the Internal Medicine Department. Most medical schools now incorporate occupational and environmental medicine as part of their programs.
With his transfer to Stanford, Dr. Cullen's primary focus is on research, specifically the role the physical environment of the workplace plays in chronic disease and disability.
