  • Cancer
    7/3/18
    Projects focus on better understanding the factors related to the causation of cancer. For example, a study of African American families with a history of breast cancer will add to our understanding of the genetics of this disease and potentially lead to preventive measures.
  • Cardiovascular Diseases
    7/5/18
    Researchers are examining physiological and psychological measures of stress in police officers to evaluate potential associations of these measures with early signs of cardiovascular and metabolic disease.
  • Clinical Trials and Experimentation
    7/5/18
    Our current clinical trial focuses on the effects of aspirin in gestation and reproduction.
  • Environmental and Occupational Health
    7/5/18
    Studies explore environmental exposures in relation to morbidity and mortality, looking at both individuals who are occupationally exposed and others in the general population.
  • Global Population Health

    Faculty are involved in a number of studies investigating disease prevention. Studies examining how to prevent diarrheal disease, a major source of death of infants and children in developing economies, could have enormous health impacts.
  • Women's Health
