Epidemiology and Health Services Research

Welcome to the website of the Department of Epidemiology and Health Services Research!

Epidemiology deals with the distribution and causes of diseases in populations, while
health services research deals with the actors, structures and effects of health care. Our research can therefore include medical, social science, economic and legal aspects.

Our team has specific expertise and projects in the areas of quality of life for cancer patients, psychotherapeutic care, and environmental and occupational epidemiology. You can find information about our projects here.

For future collaboration opportunities, doctoral theses and master's theses, contact :
• Dr. Kathy Taylor for topics related to quality of life in oncology
• Dr. Esther Stalujanis for topics related to psychotherapeutic care
• PD Dr. Emilio Gianicolo for topics related to environmental and occupational epidemiology
