Our Goal

To reduce disparities in exposures and health outcomes for diverse populations of New Mexico by better understanding environmental determinants of health in New Mexican diverse populations from the genetic to the population level and identifying social and behavioral factors that increase risk or provide protection from disease among populations exposed to environmental toxicants. We hope to link human health researchers with bench scientists in other research cores to develop multi-disciplinary research initiatives that address key public health needs of the state and its diverse communities.
