Description

The Department of Environmental Health believes that the essence of public health is the primary prevention of disease through global leadership in research, training, and service. We seek to:

Attract and retain a distinguished faculty committed to environmental research from a wide range of fields, such as chemistry, physiology, genetics, cell and molecular biology, medicine, engineering, epidemiology, occupational health, preventive medicine, and risk management.
Offer the most advanced training to the best degree candidates and fellows, both domestic and international.
Perform research that ranges from the molecular to the population levels and will utilize a diversity of appropriate technologies. We seek an understanding of the pathogenesis and prevention of environmentally-produced illnesses that will act as a catalyst for scientifically-based public health advances and regulation.
Seek colleagues and collaborations throughout the School, University, and the world to maximize the Department's resources and impact.
