Our researchers lead advances in infectious disease modeling, health data science, and epidemiology, developing tools that guide policy, improve risk prediction, and strengthen population health decision-making. Innovations in disability and assistive technology, as well as wearable technology and health, support greater independence, safety, and access to care. Faculty focused on mental and emotional health, addiction— including tobacco and vaping—and sleep health develop evidence-based strategies that promote well-being across diverse communities. Strengths in environmental and health research further illuminate how social and physical environments shape outcomes and contribute to health disparities. The College also excels in maternal and child health, sexual and reproductive health, and LGBTQ+ health, where faculty work closely with community partners to advance equity and improve care experiences. A shared commitment to underserved populations connects these research areas, encouraging interdisciplinary teams to design culturally responsive studies and translate findings into practical, real-world solutions.
