"Empowering Communities Through Data-Driven Environmental Justice Research"

The Environmental Justice Research Lab in the Division of Environmental Health focuses in low-income communities of color, develops novel methods to assess exposures and measure health outcomes among populations impacted by industrial pollution and burdened by multiple social and economic stressors.  

Our team collaborates in partnerships with communities in order to engage in community-driven epidemiology and action-oriented research.
