SPH Profiled in The Lancet.
The Lancet has honored the School of Public Health’s 40th anniversary with an article that examines the School’s history and vision for the future.
The story includes interviews with Dean Sandro Galea and several faculty members. It reviews highlights of the School’s research history, including developing the basis for US drunk-driving laws, laying the intellectual foundation for patients’ rights and applied bioethics, and contributing to the understanding of the health effects of environmental toxins in conditions such as Gulf War syndrome.
“We have faculty and staff who are drawn here because this is a school that does top-tier research but is deeply committed to real-world practice,” Galea tells The Lancet. “The people we attract . . . want to change the world.”
