Students involved with the Tobacco Research Lab engage in a variety of projects and study multiple aspects of tobacco use, including epidemiology, interventions, and marketing, as well as learn crucial research skills, such as grant writing, literature reviews, and analysis strategies. As this lab has multiple PIs, students have the opportunity to learn about a large range of topics, which the lab facilitates by hosting weekly presentations where PIs or students discuss their research and share their experiences.
Ongoing projects include:
- Dr. Michael Weitzman’s work to evaluate the smoking habits and knowledge of alternative tobacco products among dental students, dental hygiene students, and post-graduate dental students at the NYU College of Dentistry.
