More than 50 Master of Public Health (MPH) students from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai recently delivered poster presentations on high-quality and timely research during Public Health Research Day at Guggenheim Pavilion. Three students were selected to present their research in detail to their classmates and mentors. Molly Libou, MPH, studied barriers to treatment for opioid addiction; Lauren Esposito, MPH, located areas in New York City with the greatest risk of Zika virus transmission; and Chi Wen, MPH, examined the risks of exposure to mercury.
“This event demonstrates the excellence and diversity of our program and gives our students the opportunity to share the results of their scholarly work with the entire Mount Sinai community,” said Nils Hennig, MD, PhD, MPH, Director of the Graduate Program in Public Health. A keynote address was delivered by Ariel Pablos-Méndez, MD, MPH, former Assistant Administrator for Global Health, United States Agency for International Development.
