Our Work
Our renowned faculty members provide students with training in effective research practices and methods. We work with our students to apply their epidemiology research to a variety of health problems here in North Carolina and around the world. Our students can specialize in nine types of epidemiology: cancer, cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, injury, reproductive / perinatal / pediatric epidemiology, environmental / occupational, pharmacoepidemiology, genetic and social.
