Interdisciplinary Doctoral Training Program in Public Health & Aging
 The doctoral training program emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary work in public health and aging. Population aging is having a growing impact on public health worldwide and leading to increases in chronic diseases. Understanding the risk factors –environmental, nutritional, lifestyle and societal, along with their associated interactions with potential genetic susceptibility factors---for accelerated aging processes and resulting impacts on chronic disease carries the potential for identifying new opportunities for prevention. Such research requires an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses medicine, social sciences, biology and population approaches.
