Faculty affiliated with the program have backgrounds in infectious disease, cancer, health disparities, environmental and occupational health, women's health, reproductive and perinatal health, pediatric health, nutrition, gender-based violence, global health, and implementation science. In addition to maintaining individual research agendas, our epidemiology faculty frequently collaborate with state and local health departments and community-based organizations.
