环境病理学的目的是对与环境和职业暴露相关的机制（包括化学物质，矿物质纤维和压力）进行基本了解，以预防人类疾病。布朗在环境病理学方面的研究是合作且多样的，学生有足够的机会与导师一起从事许多活跃的项目。该计划的重点是年度环境病理学研讨会。秋季与研究生计划务虚会共同举办，邀请了该领域全国公认的研究人员作为主旨发言人。鼓励受训者成为适当专业协会的学生，并在这些论坛上向全国展示他们的工作。
Environmental Pathology track aims to impart a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms related to environmental and occupational exposures--including chemicals, mineral fibers, and stress--in order to prevent human disease. Research in environmental pathology at Brown is collaborative and varied, students are given ample opportunity to work alongside faculty mentors on a number of active projects. A highlight of the program is the annual Symposium in Environmental Pathology. Held in the fall in conjunction with the Graduate Program Retreat, a nationally-recognized researcher in this area is invited as the keynote speaker. Trainees are encouraged to become student members of appropriate professional societies and present their work nationally in these forums.
