Environmental Epidemiology Research Training in the Peruvian Amazon (2013-2014)
This project team was a hands-on training program in which students learned about environmental and human data collection for epidemiologic investigations, and obtained field experience in conducting research. The research experience was part of a larger study to better understand human vulnerability to heavy metal exposure and emerging infectious diseases in the Amazon.
