Seminars in Epidemiology
The Department of Epidemiology seminar series is dedicated to the various issues in public health research and practice. A long tradition in our department, this lunchtime seminar series was developed to promote discussion, share work in progress, and summarize recently completed work.
The series typically attracts a broad audience including faculty, research scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and students from several Harvard Chan School departments, including Epidemiology, Global Health and Population, Nutrition, and Biostatistics.
Persons with disabilities who would like to request accommodations or have questions about physical access may contact ewilliams@hsph.harvard.edu in advance of the program or visit.
The Harvard Chan School hosts a diverse array of speakers, invited to share both scholarly research and personal perspectives. They do not speak for the School, and hosting them does not imply endorsement of their views, organizations, or employers.
