EPIDEMIOLOGY

We are one of the leading epidemiology units in the United States, and demonstrate particular strength in studies of women's health, geriatrics and the epidemiology of a variety of chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and breast cancer... The Herbert Wertheim school of Public Health and Human Longevity Science was founded in 2019 with a $25 million lead gift from the Dr. Herbert and Nicole Wertheim Family Foundation with a mission to create and promote healthier populations on a local, national and global scale... We support our members and encourage collaboration over competition. We invest time in creating connections within the School and larger community, providing mentorship and celebrating successes. We develop structural mechanisms that promote respectful and caring behaviors. We remove barriers such as top-down thinking and competition fueled by lack of resources.
