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 part of Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the PhD Program in Biological Sciences in Public Health (BPH), established in 1993, trains students in individual fields of biological research with a focus on understanding, preventing and treating diseases affecting large populations. Students in the BPH program obtain a broad interdisciplinary knowledge of both mechanistic and quantitative approaches to biomedical research. Major areas of investigation include: The Metabolic Basis of Health and Disease, Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Gene-Environment Interactions and Inflammation and Stress Responses. All of these areas are studied with an emphasis on biochemical, cell biological and genetic approaches to delineating disease mechanisms. Our research, whether basic or translational, is relevant to human health. Students apply cutting-edge research technologies toward the improved understanding, treatment, and prevention of human diseases with the greatest current impact on global populations. Our program embraces the idea that progress in a given disease area is optimally promoted by a close interaction between scientists from diverse disciplines, including genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, physiology, and systems biology. Core quantitative disciplines like biostatistics and epidemiology are also fundamental to analyzing large datasets, such as those generated from ''omics'' approaches, and for assessing the broad impact of health problems, allowing us to look beyond individuals to entire populations. With our roots in biology, we are able to confront the most pressing diseases of our time, gaining insights into their underlying mechanisms and uncovering novel therapeutic opportunities.
