We investigate how exposure to environmental risk factors affect public health, and develop effective adaptation strategies to emerging challenges such that our findings can rapidly translate into public policy and public communication strategies.

Our researchers have expertise across a diverse range of areas spanning greenspace, allergens, pathogens, chemical contaminants (such as pesticides, PFAS, tobacco and vaping chemical exposure), water-associated diseases, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH), and the interface between the human-animal ecosystem (One Health).
