- Representation and measurement of contextual or environmental influences
- EcoGeographic genetic epidemiology: gene-environment interactions
- Disease ecologies
Infectious and Communicable Diseases
- Infectious diseases and their relations to climate change
- Spatiotemporal modeling of infectious and communicable diseases
Health Behaviors
