Ranging from the biological to the political, reproductive and population public health issues and problems are subject to the microscope of the biologist and the scrutiny of the Supreme Court. At the School of Public Health , we research and evaluate many of these issues from sociological, molecular, and clinical perspectives. Our biochemists study fertilization, pregnancy, embryo development, cervical and prostate cancer, and the age by which reproductive organs develop and incur disease. Other researchers at the School study HIV transmission and prevention, contraception and abortion policies, determinants of low birth weight and infant mortality, family planning, and adolescent sexual behavior. By addressing problems and changing patterns of population growth and reproduction, we work to ensure the health and development of human populations, especially the most vulnerable populations.
