An Interdisciplinary Center with a Diverse Approach
We seek to understand how human health is impacted by environmental factors and how to reduce adverse impacts.
At CHHE, we apply a systems biology approach, spanning biomolecules to human populations, to understand how environmental stressors impact human health. Our goal is to uncover the underlying mechanisms of disease and use this knowledge to mitigate adverse health outcomes.
CHHE: 100 strong, representing 3 Universities
We bring together 68 grant seeking faculty from 17 departments and 6 colleges at NC State, as well as 10 faculty from East Carolina’s Brody School of Medicine and 9 faculty from NC Central, in addition to our associate members and amazing staff.
PFAS SRP and CHHE work together to get answers on PCBs in building materials and reported health effects from invited guests at the Iowa Superfund Research Program
CHHE is committed to diversity, inclusion, equity, anti-racism, anti-oppression and environmental justice. We challenge ourselves to identify and understand these inequities and to intentionally work to correct them.
CHHE is an NIEHS-funded Environmental Health Science Core Center.
