The University of Louisville Division of Environmental Medicine is dedicated to advancing a new vision of health by understanding how the envirome, the totality of environmental influences beyond our genome, shapes health and overall well-being.

Our researchers explore how environmental conditions can foster, support, or hinder health, with the goal of developing innovative approaches that promote wellness, strengthen resilience, and reduce health inequities.

Building on a strong foundation in the basic sciences, the division brings together multidisciplinary scientists, scholars, and investigators to study the complex interactions between environmental factors and human health.

Through collaborative research, community engagement, and scientific discovery, we are expanding knowledge of the factors that influence cardiovascular disease risk and health outcomes across populations.

Our mission is to advance individual wellness, thriving communities, and transformative change by examining the full range of influences on cardiovascular health. Through innovative research, education, and collaboration, we are helping shape the next generation of scientists and developing solutions that improve health for people and communities alike.
