Who we are
We are a group a researchers from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF). We have backgrounds primarily in environmental health, statistics, coding, epidemiology and more. Creating formal collaborations will lead to high impact translational environmental health research. With clinicians as partners, CEMI will begin to bridge the traditional boundaries between scientists and clinicians such that fully evaluated and replicated discoveries can make their way into clinical practice, into the community, and back again. As partnerships expand to include policy makers and others, it will speed the rate at which scientific knowledge is embodied in patient care.

What we do
With a significant portion of human disease influenced by environmental exposures, an improved understanding of these links along with rapid translation of such findings into public health policy and clinical practice is critical. Experts at ESF, SUNY Upstate Medical University, and Syracuse University are working together to fill this gap by creating a formal structure for collaboration centered on the application of big data, artificial intelligence, scientific computing, and informatics to pressing environmental health problems.

HOw We are Funded
Discovery Challenge funding will provide a foundation upon which to build. This initiative holds the promise of enhancing ESF’s reputation by establishing the College as a leader in informatics and environmental medicine. At present, there are few programs in the nation that have developed robust environmental informatics programs with a direct relationship to the clinical practice of environmental medicine. Funding of this proposal will allow ESF and collaborators to distinguish and differentiate themselves in this regard, thus placing them at the forefront of translational environmental health research and practice. It will position ESF to become a successful player in the larger extramural funding arena, introducing a new area of research expertise and, by association, providing greater opportunities for graduate training.

Where we are Located
Our base location is at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) on university hill in Syracuse, NY.
We also collaborate with researchers on the hill at Syracuse University and Upstate Medical University located just down the street from us.
