Upon completing his formal education, Guallar joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health as an assistant professor in epidemiology.[2] In this role, he co-authored Mercury, Fish Oils and the Risk of Myocardial Infarction which advised eliminating fish with high mercury content from the human diet.[3] Later that year, Guallar also published a study of 7,830 white and African American adults age 30 to 74 to prove that rising systolic blood pressure was the clearest indicator for increased risk of death compared to other blood pressure measurements.[4] As a result of his research, Guallar was named a Fellow of the Center for Excellence in Environmental Public Health Tracking at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.[5] During the 2012–13 academic year, Guallar was elected a Fellow of the American Heart Association[1] and promoted to the rank of professor in the Department of Epidemiology.[6]
