An Interdisciplinary Center with a Unique Approach
We seek to understand how human health is impacted by environmental factors and how to reduce adverse impacts.
At the Center for Human Health and the Environment (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.
