Inter-Disciplinary Approach

Our multidisciplinary research team is central to achieving the Center’s goals. We have brought together researchers with expertise in epidemiology, biostatistics, public health, environmental chemistry, immunology, toxicology, soil and water chemistry, reproductive physiology, developmental biology, economics and risk analysis. Members of the center will contribute with different disciplinary perspectives to foster an integrated approach to engage in issues related to agriculture/environment and public health.
