One instructional assistant is required for HE440P: Environment and Health (winter 2021 term). Human health is heavily influenced by the relationship between the environment and human disease outcomes. Cancer, a multifactorial disease, will be used as a model to study the interactions between genetic and external factors. This course will identify critical links between cancer and the environment through investigation of the hallmarks of cancer from a cell and molecular perspective, and environmental inputs that can cause cancer. There will be a focus on the molecular mechanisms of carcinogens, how scientists identify these compounds, and how to mitigate these risks. Students will use recent, cutting-edge scientific literature to evaluate the current cancer research landscape, and will explore mainstream media resources to understand how the environment influences human health from a cell to society approach.
