The program is interdisciplinary and interdepartmental. Trainees matriculate into one of four academic departments: Biochemistry, Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology, or Molecular Microbiology and Immunology. Trainees complete a common set of core courses: Principles of Toxicology, Environmental Health, Public Health Perspectives on Doctoral Research, Research Ethics, and participate in weekly research seminars and an annual scientific workshop sponsored by the Training Program. Research programs of the training faculty encompass many areas, including exposure assessment, molecular and cellular mechanisms of toxicity caused by environmental agents and genetic and molecular epidemiological studies to reveal associations of environmental exposures and susceptibility factors to adverse effects on human health. The program resides in a school of public health where emphasis is placed on the application of knowledge to protection of human health from adverse effects of environmental agents.
