agent-based models.

School include improving health in cities, eliminating health disparities,
and promoting health in all policies. The School offers ample opportunities
for interdisciplinary research and training in population health generally,
including a new Urban Health Collaborative aimed at promoting research,
training, and policy to improve health in cities both locally and globally.
