Marty Kanarek is Professor of Population Health Sciences and Environmental
Studies. He received his Ph.D. in Epidemiology from the University of California
Berkeley and his M.P.H. in Environmental Health from the University of
Minnesota. He worked at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from 1972-78
before coming to Wisconsin. He currently serves as Chair of the Graduate
Program in Population Health and Vice Chair of the Department and Chair of the
Gaylord Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies Certificate Program for
Undergraduates.
Research Interests
His research interests include environmental epidemiology -- indoor and
outdoor air pollution, lead poisoning prevention, PCB and mercury contaminants
in fish, drinking water and cancer and other studies of the human health effects
of pollution.
