BSD IPP - Population Health
About the Department
The Institute for Population and Precision Health (IPPH), located in the
Biological Sciences Division, integrates a wide spectrum of factors such
as human health behaviors, environmental factors, social and economic
factors, policies and genetic determinants of health, into studies
focused on the treatment and prevention of disease, as well as the
maintenance of wellness. Leveraging and integrating the University of
Chicago\'s considerable institutional strength in population science
with research spanning diverse fields such as genetic medicine, cancer
epidemiology, microbiome, and epigenomics, the Institute will have the
common goal of improving human health outcomes. Another major goal of
the Institute will be to develop a new multidisciplinary training
program to equip researchers with emerging tools and methods to conduct
precision health research within a population health framework. Our
faculty lead research projects in biostatistics, epidemiology and health
services research and participate in interdisciplinary teams with
faculty in other departments to address complex problems in health and
healthcare, in our communities and around the globe.
