Epidemiology

The mission of the Division of Epidemiology in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health is to conduct population-based studies on the development of and outcomes of communicable and non-communicable diseases, with an emphasis on behavioral risk factors, occupational/environmental exposures, social determinants of health, and molecular variation. There are well established research programs in Infectious Disease, Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Obesity/Diabetes, and Genetic Epidemiology. The faculty is largely made up of molecular epidemiologists, population scientists, and methodologists who work extensively with collaborators throughout the Montefiore-Einstein community, and beyond, through major grant-funded research initiatives and leadership roles.
