The Department of Epidemiology is one of the most successful and respected academic units at UCI.
The evolution of our academic unit over the past 25 years has included the development of California’s first
cancer epidemiology program based on a population-based cancer registry. This cancer registry has facilitated
a steady growth of large cancer epidemiology research projects making UCI a leader in this particular field.
As a result, the Department of Epidemiology has been successful in recruiting superb faculty who are leaders
in their respective research areas as well as an exceptional group of graduate students who are partners with
us in our research and teaching. The Department of Epidemiology faculty, doctoral students and postdoctoral
scholars will continue to collaborate with national and international research groups and scientists owing
to our strong national reputation for research innovation and excellence.
