Molecular Epidemiology, Genomics, Environment, and Health
The Molecular Epidemiology, Genomics, Environment and Health (MEGEH) Center is an interdisciplinary and translational research center that conducts multiple programs in genetics, neurobiology, environmental science, and human health. RTI scientists working within MEGEH use "systems science" to develop integrative approaches that better define disease states and states of wellness and susceptibility to disorders and disease. Working together, we help to devise medical, psychosocial, and public health interventions and policies that promote the implementation of personalized and preventive medicine.
