Gijs van Seventer Environmental Health Seminar.

Spring 2024 Seminar

We’re excited to welcome you to the Spring 2024 Gijs van Seventer Environmental Health Seminar Series. This semester, we will explore the following topic:

Omics in Environmental Health

Navigating the dynamic landscape of exposures and outcomes, researchers are immersing themselves in integrative science and methods to employ multi-faceted approaches to unravel complex questions. At the forefront of this pursuit is “Omics”, a methodology embracing big data, integrated techniques, and a comprehensive understanding of diseases.Join us for the Spring 2024 Gijs van Seventer Seminar Series, where numerous environmental health researchers will share insights into how their application of ‘Omics is pertinent to their fields. Delve into the crucial questions: How does the real profile of exposure shape our outcomes? Is a more robust profile necessary? Gain a deeper understanding of the transformative impact ‘Omics can have in the ever-evolving world of environmental health.

Fall 2023 Seminar

We’re excited to welcome you to the Fall 2023 Gijs van Seventer Environmental Health Seminar Series. This semester, we will be implementing two mini-series that will explore the following topics:

Series 1: The Commercial Determinants of Health (September – October)

The corporate sector holds an unprecedented influence over public health and the environment. The commercial determinants of health encompass a spectrum of profit-generating endeavors including the sale of cigarettes, processed foods, energy, and consumer product chemicals as well as adjacent activities such as marketing, lobbying, and political donations, which influence people’s health, either for better or worse. These commercial determinants often in turn ripple through social, occupational, and environmental dimensions of health. In this seminar series, we will explore the ways in which commercial activities impact population health through an action-oriented lens, hearing from speakers who are testing different interventions with the potential to improve public health.

Series 2: Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Health Research (November – December)

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in recent years has opened new avenues in understanding and addressing complex challenges in environmental health research and practice. This mini-series will explore the transformative potential of AI and ML techniques in predicting emerging health threats and providing evidence-based recommendations for policy interventions. Our speakers will discuss ongoing research using AI techniques, the incorporation of novel data streams, and implications for the application of AI methodologies in public health.

Join us every Wednesday (during the semester) in-person or via Zoom from 1pm-2pm.

Location: Online or L-112
