Welcome

The Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences at the University of Cincinnati is committed to studying how environmental factors negatively impact human health, how to recognize and prevent these effects, and how to improve public health through clinical care and health care policy.

The department is part of the University of Cincinnati’s College of Medicine and is home to a dynamic, collaborative, and highly interactive faculty conducting bleeding-edge research and training the next generation of leaders in environmental science, occupational medicine, and public health. 

The department offers a variety of graduate programs, and a clinical fellowship, and is the home of pre-and post-doctoral training programs funded by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).

Our interdisciplinary programs include approximately xx faculty and subject matter experts from multiple colleges at the University of Cincinnati, governmental agencies, including NIOSH, the Environmental Protection Agency, and multiple health departments in the region.

The impact of our research, education, and clinical programs is leading the way to effectively improve the health of our communities.

Mary Beth Genter, PhD, professor, Department of Environmental Health earns $25,000 award for a pilot grant in "Intranasal Nilotinib in a Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease". 

The University of Cincinnati (UC) Neurobiology Research Center and the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute recently awarded seven researchers with peer-reviewed pilot grants totaling $175,000. Awardees each receive a $25,000 grant toward their pilot research. 

"Our goal with these pilot grants is to advance neuroscience research efforts across the university,” says James Herman, PhD, Donald C. Harrison Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience and director of the UC Neurobiology Research Center (NRC). "Pilot grants not only foster collaboration across different disciplines to further thinking and research in the neurosciences, but also can lead to national funding of the research project.”
