The Training Program in Environmental Health Sciences: Toxicology
The Training Program in Environmental Health Sciences, based at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), is a program which emphasizes the importance of gaining knowledge through basic research.
The program integrates laboratory-based research experiences and coursework in order to equip the trainees with the most current tools of chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, toxicology, molecular epidemiology, and risk assessment.

EPA Center for Ambient Particle Health Effects
The fundamental objective of the proposed Center is to understand how specific PM characteristics and sources impact inflammation, autonomic responses, and vascular dysfunction.
The Center will investigate the pathophysiological effects produced by exposures to PM and its gaseous co-pollutants and will examine how these effects relate to PM composition, size and sources.

Harvard NIEHS Center for Environmental Health
The Harvard NIEHS Center for Environmental Health serves as the focus for environmental health research and training activities in the Harvard School of Public Health and elsewhere at Harvard University. The Center was established in 1958 to promote interactions among physicians, biological scientists, physical scientists, and engineers working on environmental problems that influence human health.
HSPH-Cyprus Program/Cyprus International Institute
The Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and the Government of Cyprus have established an international research, education, and technology initiative for the environment and public health to address key environmental issues in Cyprus and the Mediterranean region. Towards this end, two new research and training entities have been created: The Cyprus International Institute (CII) for the Environment and Public Health located in Nicosia, Cyprus, and the HSPH-Cyprus Program (HCP) located in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention
Our Center addresses the concerns of a community living in the Tar Creek Superfund site of Oklahoma - an area highly contaminated by metals (lead, cadmium, iron, manganese, and others) in mining waste and populated by many residents of Native American descent. Our overall goal is to take a highly innovative approach to addressing a "real world" problem, i.e., the potential of the mixtures of metals that are present in "chat" (mining waste) to interact with each other in terms of exposure, absorption, dose, and adverse effects on the development of children.
Harvard Education and Research Center
The objective of the Education and Research Center is to give occupational safety and health professionals the opportunity to develop public health perspectives, a sensitivity about political climates, and the skills and knowledge needed to identify and prevent occupational impairments, disease, and injuries through control or elimination of harmful occupational exposures.
