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.
We bring together 68 grant seeking faculty from 15 departments and six colleges at NC State, as well as ten faculty from East Carolina’s Brody School of Medicine and nine faculty from NC Central, in addition to our associate members and amazing staff.
CHHE provides focus, resources and leadership for interdisciplinary research that improves human health locally, nationally and globally.
