About the School of Public Health
Our researchers create solutions that matter: from confirming long-held theories about the causes of diseases to developing exoskeletons that support workers in high-risk jobs to developing the first promising AI diagnostic tool for doctors to revealing how policies reinforce urban food deserts.
And they share their cutting-edge expertise in the classrooms—and as they mentor students in their labs.
Our students know that they will graduate fully prepared to create anything possible for the greater good of our communities.
