Jason R. Rohr is an American biologist and an academic. He is the Galla Professor and Chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame, USA.
Rohr's research has explored how human-driven environmental changes—such as pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss—have affected ecosystems, disease transmission, and public health. He has studied amphibian declines, freshwater systems, zoonotic diseases, and sustainable food production, and has conducted field studies, laboratory experiments, and modeling to address global challenges.
In 2024, he was awarded the International Frontiers Planet Prize by the Frontiers Research Foundation and was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2017.
