DESCRIPTION:With Dr. Rick Woychik as Director\, the National Institute of 
 Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) research is reshaping our understan
 ding of how the environment impacts human health in order to promote heal
 thier lives\, and providing global leadership for innovative research tha
 t improves public health by preventing disease and disability. The NIEHS 
 is one of the 27 institutes or centers that comprise the United States Na
 tional Institutes of Health. In this presentation\, Dr. Woychik will addr
 ess the six NIEHS emerging scientific priority areas as future directions
  for environmental health science\, including: the exposome\, climate cha
 nge and health\, precision environmental health\, mechanistic and transla
 tional biology/toxicology\, environmental justice and health disparities\
 , and computational biology and data science. In conclusion\, he will hig
 hlight environmental justice activities across NIEHS and emphasize the im
 portance of future research strategies aiming to reduce environmental hea
 lth disparities. About the Speaker Dr. Rick Woychik was named Director of
  the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National
  Toxicology Program on June 7\, 2020\, after serving as Deputy Director s
 ince 2011. He is a molecular geneticist with a Ph.D. in molecular biology
  from Case Western Reserve University and postdoctoral training with Dr. 
 Philip Leder at Harvard Medical School. He spent almost 10 years at Oak R
