Background

The Epidemiology Branch (EB) addresses the mission of the NIEHS by applying and extending the tools of epidemiology to study the effects of the environment on human health. EB investigators study a wide range of health effects with potential links to environmental exposures. Studies cover outcomes across the lifespan from pregnancy and child development to chronic diseases of aging, and focus on known and potential environmental hazards. EB studies often include the collection of biological and environmental samples to measure biomarkers of exposure, susceptibility, or effect. EB’s research portfolio includes large multi-purpose cohorts designed to study effects of environmental exposures, genes and gene-environment interactions, genome- and epigenome-wide association studies, more narrowly focused studies in clinical or population settings, and laboratory-based mechanistic studies and covers the range of topics represented in the eight research groups. New groups addressing additional topics in environmental health are anticipated in the near future. The current eight research groups are: Aging and Neuroepidemiology, Biomarker-based Epidemiology, Chronic Disease Epidemiology, Genetics, Environment and Respiratory Disease, Molecular and Genetic Epidemiology, Pediatric Epidemiology, Reproductive Epidemiology and Women’s Health.
