Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

The overarching mission of Harvard Chan is to advance the public’s health through learning, discovery and communication. Harvard Chan produces knowledge through research, reproduces knowledge through higher education, and translates knowledge into actionable messages that can be communicated to the public, policy-makers and practitioners to advance the health of populations. Its major research orientation is disease prevention through better understanding of the biological, social and population factors that impact disease outcome. Harvard Chan leverages expertise across the biological, quantitative and social sciences to advance scientific discovery, educate leaders, and translate knowledge into practice and policy.
