Faculty Research Interests

Epidemiology and Population Health (EPH) faculty conduct a broad range of research focused on an improved understanding of infectious disease, maternal and child health, chronic diseases, cancer, and more. Faculty members also study health outcomes, patterns of health determinants, factors contributing to health, and the development of epidemiologic and clinical research methods.

EPH faculty contribute to hundreds of publications annually and are considered leaders in their respective fields. Their varied interests and groundbreaking projects provide unique opportunities for student research and field training.
