About the Program
The Environmental & Occupational Medicine and Epidemiology Program (EOME) aims to investigate and prevent health risks associated with environmental and occupational hazards. We achieve this by conducting original research and providing outstanding professional education.
The EOME faculty are considered pioneers in the national and international community, paving the way for research and education in the environmental and occupational health field. Program Director, Dr. David Christiani, has set this standard through his research, which includes ground-breaking international studies as well as innovative work on cancer and respiratory disease in the United States. The program has recruited and cultivated a talented faculty whose expertise in environmental epidemiology has been at the forefront in the study of reproductive, perinatal, neurological and respiratory diseases.
