Haroutune K. Armenian, MD, DrPH
Professor, UCLA
President Emeritus, AUA
Professor Emeritus, JHSPH

Dr. Armenian is Professor in Residence of Epidemiology at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, the founding Dean of the AUA SPH and AUA President Emeritus.

His career in epidemiology has spanned a number of countries and regions of the world. He has special interests in the application of epidemiologic methods to health services research and chronic diseases. He is one of the earliest to apply epidemiologic methods to study the effects of the civil war at the population level during the 1980s in Lebanon, and the long-term effects of the 1988 earthquake in Armenia. In the 1980s, he pioneered epidemiologic research by using Armenian Church parish records to study infant mortality as well as other health indicators in 16 diaspora countries over a timeframe of 300 years. More recent research includes the 23 year follow up of the survivors of the earthquake in Armenia.

Dr. Armenian has been for 15 years the Editor in Chief of Epidemiologic Reviews and on the editorial board of a number of professional journals and publications. He has published over 100 scientific peer reviewed papers and 21 chapters as well as 20 books. He also published two collections of his watercolors and prose-poetry in Armenian and English: Colors and Words and Past Here Does Not Yet Melt. The latter was composed while they climbed Mount Ararat in an AUA expedition led by Sona Armenian to Ararat and Western Armenia in 2006. In 2009 he became the supervisor of the Chair in Epidemiology and Public Health at the King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In Armenia, he continues to lead the Turpanjian Rural Development Program that has the Entrepreneurship in Medicine as a sub-project.
