Elisa Gallo is a postdoctoral fellow working in the Horizon Europe project CATALYSE (Climate Action To Advance HeaLthY Societies in Europe) at ISGlobal. She mainly investigates the relationship between environmental factors and health outcomes. In particular, as part of the CATALYSE project, she collaborates in the creation of a health-based temperature Early Warning System.

She is also working in the EU-funded project EARLY-ADAPT (“Signs of Early Adaptation to Climate Change”), investigating the environmental, socioeconomic and demographic drivers of recent trends in human health.

She obtained a Ph.D. in Translational Specialistic Medicine “G.B. Morgagni” with a focus on Epidemiology and Statistical Medicine at the University of Padova, Italy. During her Ph.D. she investigated the effects of air and water pollution on vulnerable populations living in Italy.
