Overview

The University of Chicago approved the creation of the Department of Public Health Sciences within the Division of the Biological Sciences in Spring of 1993.

Key Features

We study individual, collective, environmental and organizational factors that affect the health of human populations, as well as methods for carrying out such research.

Department members draw on the disciplines of statistics, epidemiology, genetics, psychology, sociology, demography and economics in the study of health, health care and biomedical science from a population perspective.

The Department provides a unique environment where cross-disciplinary research in these areas of inquiry can flourish.

Programme Structure

The Department has students and faculty in the disciplines of biostatistics, epidemiology, and health services research. In addition, the Department provides methodologic expertise to researchers in other departments through Biostatistics Laboratory.

The Biostatistics Laboratory has 9 full-time biostatisticians, epidemiologists, and computer scientists. They have active collaborations with every clinical department in the Biological Sciences Division, as well as projects involving faculty members throughout the University.
