Hello there, I'm somewhat new to creating Wikipedia contributions and appreciate any guidance you may have regarding Wikipedia:Notability. Dr. Cullen is a distinguished researcher in population health sciences and specifically on the social/environmental considerations of public health policies. I believe he does meet the notability guidelines for academics, on the account of having authored a wide variety of papers and held senior positions at numerous universities. Within population health sciences he is very well-known and respected.

I also realize the notability warning may have been placed on this biography because many of the sources are primary; Dr. Cullen also has made some media appearances, especially talking about the impact of COVID in the San Francisco Bay Area. Would these media appearances be worth mentioning, and/or contribute to bringing this article to compliance with the notability guidelines?
