Faculty Research Labs and Programs
Our award-winning faculty works across disciplines to advance health equity through cutting-edge research, with approaches that include basic science research, epidemiological studies, data science, randomized controlled trials, ethnographic surveys, longitudinal studies, toxicology, and microbial surveillance.
-
Explores the causes of asthma development and exacerbations that resulted in the stark disparities in asthma prevalence and morbidity seen in lower-income neighborhoods in New York City. (wet lab)
-
Our research sits at the intersection of public health, genomics, and the population and behavioral sciences.
-
Provides an extensive variety of analytical services that range from ELISA assays and microRNA analysis, to library preparations for massive parallel sequencing. (wet lab)

Dr. Wenpin Hou is particularly interested in developing methods for spatio-temporal patterns in single-cell and spatial genomics and epigenomics data.
-
Focuses on preventing infection by inactivating SARS-CoV-2 infection and understanding the immunological response. (wet lab)

Explores methodological issues in environmental epidemiology. (dry lab)
-
Explores the interface between hydrology, environmental engineering, and environmental health. (dry lab)
-
The exposome concept highlights the importance of environmental factors in disease development.
-
Studies the relationship between metal exposures (arsenic, mercury, lead) and related disease, and on assesses population-level metal exposures using biological and environmental monitoring. (dry lab)
-
Studies the impact of complex environmental stressors during development and across the life course. (wet lab)

Explores the environmental, social, and ecological determinants of infectious diseases using mathematical and statistical techniques. (dry lab)
-
The Postpartum Assessment of Health Survey (PAHS) is the first large-scale U.S. data collection effort on the health and wellbeing of postpartum people and families in the year after a child is born.
-
Studies how metals and other environmental exposures affect lung disease development and identifies molecular signatures of environmental-related lung disease using a multi-omics approach. (dry lab)
-
Explores the environmental determinants of health with a strong focus on infectious disease. (dry lab)
-
Explores climate-related exposures, public health and equity through quantitative research, led by Dr. Robbie M. Parks. (dry lab)

Provides consultation to investigators for metals analysis, provides clean supplies for collecting biospecimens, and enables members to precisely measure a broad range of metal biomarkers. (wet lab)
-
The VIBE Research Lab uses a public health equity lens to study maternal and child inequities.
-
Explores the effects of climate and carbon dioxide on food systems, including nutrition, safety and pest pressures, in the context of hunger. (dry lab)
