作为哈佛大学艺术与科学研究生院的一部分，公共卫生生物科学博士学位课程（BPH）成立于1993年，对生物学研究各个领域的学生进行培训，重点是了解，预防和治疗影响疾病的疾病人口众多。BPH课程的学生获得有关生物医学研究的机械和定量方法的广泛跨学科知识。研究的主要领域包括：健康与疾病，免疫学和传染病的代谢基础，基因-环境相互作用以及炎症和应激反应。<br> <br>所有这些领域的研究都侧重于生化，细胞生物学和免疫学。描述疾病机理的遗传方法。我们的研究，无论是基础研究还是转化研究，都与人类健康有关。学生将运用最前
As a student in the PhD in biological sciences in public health program, you will gain expertise in the prevention and treatment of diseases that affect thousandseven millionsof people. Working with leading public health scientists, you will learn both mechanistic and quantitative approaches to biomedical research, while specializing in one of four areas of investigation:<br><br>The metabolic basis of health and disease<br>Immunology and infectious diseases<br>Gene-environment interactions<br>Inflammation and stress responses<br>Each area of investigation emphasizes biochemical, cell biological, and genetic approaches to understanding disease. In your research, whether basic or translational, you will apply cutting-edge tools and techniques to advance the understanding, treatment, and prevention of human diseases that significantly impact global populations today.<br>As a graduate of the program, you will be prepared for a career as a faculty member in a college, university, medical school, research institute, or school of public health. You may also choose to pursue a career in research at a government agency, or in the private sector at a consulting, biotech, or pharmaceutical firm.<br><br>The program provides broad interdisciplinary knowledge of both mechanistic and quantitative approaches to biomedical research and prepares graduate students for research careers with courses in the following areas:<br><br>Biochemistry, Genetics<br>Biostatistics<br>Cell biology<br>Epidemiology<br>Immunology/Infectious diseases<br>Molecular biology<br>Physiology<br>Toxicology/Cancer cell biology
