About This Department

The Department of Environmental Medicine and Public Health is a leader in environmental and community health, epidemiology, environmental pediatrics, and preventive and occupational medicine.

Our department is deeply committed to the prevention of diseases with environmental origins, and we are shaping the future of environmental health research, clinical practice, and training the next generation of leaders in this field.

Today, we are leading in the emerging field of exposomics, and our pioneering research programs are investigating a broad range of early environmental exposures and their impacts on health and development throughout life.

Our interdisciplinary approach builds on a legacy of excellence of more than 50 years. We continue to bring together world-class researchers, clinicians, and trainees that are making discoveries in the lab that will translate to new interventions and treatments in patient care.
