Biomonitoring Assessment of dermal exposure and measurement of early, reversible effects of carcinogens are the research focus areas of the Biomonitoring Lab. Environmental Chemistry Research in the Environmental Analytical Chemistry Lab draws on biochemical toxicology and environmental chemistry to investigate anthropogenic xenobiotics in the environment for assessing human exposures. The research focus on the Exposure Assessment Laboratory is the accurate characterization of current and past airborne toxins for evaluation their effects in epidemiologic studies. There are also a variety of opportunities for experience at several nearby hazardous waste, environmental response and worker training programs. The program in Biostatistics emphasizes applied statistics in the medical, biologic, and environmental worlds.
Graduates have good positions in industry, academia, and government.
Combine molecular biology, genetics, proper methodology, and your insight. Fellowships and tuition remission are available on a competitive basis. Many students have work-study programs. This masters, doctoral and postdoctoral program is designed to provide advanced courses and hands-on laboratory experience to understand the relationships between environmental exposure and human diseases. Students are trained to develop and test new hypotheses, and to communicate the significance of their findings.
