According to the World Bank, 56% of the world’s population lives in urban settings. The Urban Epidemiologic Lab (UEL) is primarily focused on studying health outcomes among urban dwellers. We focus is on substance use and infectious diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C, sexually transmitted infections, and malaria. The UEL has included undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows from NYU and beyond.
