We aim to decrease cancer rates, deaths, and health impacts both in the U.S. and worldwide through innovative epidemiological studies and educating future population health researchers. The field of Cancer Epidemiology is currently thriving, with technological progress enabling more accurate exposure assessments, larger and more intricate datasets, and novel analysis techniques. At Johns Hopkins, our Cancer Epidemiology team engages in comprehensive public health studies spanning the full cancer spectrum - from causes and early detection to prevention, control, monitoring, survivor care, and addressing cancer disparities. We prioritize translational epidemiology and collaborative science, working closely with colleagues at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center and partnering with institutions across the globe. Numerous faculty members participate in major international research alliances and utilize diverse datasets.
Our Epidemiology program provides an engaging, lively setting for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers to immerse themselves in cancer-related population and clinical studies. With a proven track record of training successful graduates, our program has prepared many alumni who now lead impactful cancer research initiatives and hold prominent positions in academic institutions, government agencies, and private organizations.
