Corbin earned a B.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of Notre Dame with a concentration in Infectious Disease & Global Health and a minor in Energy Studies. His undergraduate research surrounded anthropogenic change on freshwater systems, and his thesis investigated the impact of invasive vegetation on Pacific salmon in Alaskan lakes. Currently, Corbin investigates the role that environmental exposures play in driving susceptibility to childhood diseases through immunological and microbiome disruption. Alongside completing a certificate in global health at Duke, the research adds to his larger goal of understanding how climate and environmental change exacerbates public health inequities. In his free time, Corbin enjoys running, hiking, sand volleyball, and playing board games.
