Chanam,Lee,Professor,"Dr. Lee's research focuses on linking the built environment with public health outcomes. Her expertise is in 'active living research,' a transdisciplinary area of research that deals with environmental and policy approaches toward promoting physical activity.
Dr. Lee's contributions to this relatively new area of scholarship is significant in: (a) developing methodological and theoretical foundations, (b) bringing attention to high-risk populations, and (c) translating research into tools/guides to facilitate evidence-based policy/design interventions.",Professor||Faculty Fellow,Center for Health Systems and Design||Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n6d51b108
Martial,Ndeffo,Assistant Professor,"My research uses transdisciplinary modeling approaches to address public health challenges for a wide range of infectious diseases. A focus of my research has been to develop data-driven models to 1) understand and predict epidemiological risk, patterns, and burden of infectious diseases, 2) identify and evaluate optimal strategies for disease control and prevention, and 3) perform economic analyses of public health intervention measures for preventing or curtailing disease outbreaks. Such research is paramount for informing public health policy for infectious diseases prevention and control and ultimately saving lives.",Assistant Professor,Veterinary Integrative Biosciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n7f958dd8
