AboutAbout the lab
Exploring health effects through the environment and the genome
The Environmental Science and Genomic Epidemiology Lab uses data from large-scale epidemiological surveys to study how factors from the fetal period through childhood affect later health.
The environmental factors it examines range widely, covering physical, chemical, and biological environments as well as lifestyle, socioeconomic status, and occupation.
The lab also conducts analyses that take genome-environment interaction into account, and measures environmental exposure using biological samples.
The lab is part of the National Institute for Environmental Studies, and at the University of Tsukuba it is a cooperative graduate school lab of the Degree Programs in Comprehensive Human Sciences, Degree Program in Medical Sciences.
