Surveillance, Screening & Applied Public Health

By harnessing the power of data and technology, researchers in this field can identify emerging health threats, monitor disease outbreaks, and develop targeted interventions that improve health outcomes for individuals and communities.

Areas of Focus

  • Cancer Screening
  • Program Evaluation
  • Data Visualization & Communication

Our researchers aim to improve public health outcomes via effective screening programs and surveillance systems. Using these tools they can develop interventions and evaluate programs that save lives, including detecting cancer at early stages, when it is most treatable.

To communicate their findings, our researchers use data visualization and communication tools that can help policymakers and the public understand complex health data.
