Our research applies cutting-edge approaches to study environmental and occupational health including environmental health disparities through the lenses of molecular and biochemical toxicology, epigenetics, gene-environment interaction as well as computational and risk assessment methods. We actively collaborate with community partners and facilitate practicum experiences to enhance faculty and student learning beyond the confines of the classroom. In addition, we collaborate with the other departments at Pitt Public Health, the schools of medicine and engineering, as well as centers and institutes across Pitt and other national and global Universities.
