Health. NIEHS Center for Environmental Health in Northern Manhattan The Mailman School is home to the NIH/NIEHS funded Center for Environmental Health in Northern Manhattan, which includes researchers working in environmental health sciences across Columbia University. Virginia Rauh, one of the Center members, was the lead author of a landmark paper showing that chlorpyrifos, a commonly used pesticides, caused neurodevelopmental alterations in children. Her data supported tighter regulations of the pesticides that were initially opposed and blocked by the Trump administration and eventually reinstated under the Biden administration. Epigenetics and Precision Prevention Since 2017, the Mailman School offers a summer Epigenetic Boot Camp for Planning and Analyzing DNA Methylation Studies, a two-day intensive boot camp of seminars and hands-on analytical sessions that provides an overview of concepts, techniques, and data analysis methods utilized in human epigenetics studies. The Laboratory of Precision Environmental Biosciences, regarded as one of the pioneering epigenetics labs worldwide, is the central focus of a wider Precision Medicine program at the Mailman School, focusing on public health and prevention. That includes research and education on the human microbiome, extracellular RNA communication, molecular epidemiology, genomics, viromics, mitochondriomics, statistical genetics, computational biology, and biomarker sciences. Precision Medicine offers a unique combination of cutting-edge lab technology with large scale studies and applications in population sciences and public health, including predictive analytics and analysis of return on investment. Facilities The Mailman School of Public Health's main facility, the Allan Rosenfield Building, was constructed in 1930 at 1050 Riverside Drive in 1930 on the Columbia University Medical Campus. It served as the original New York State Psychiatric Institute until it was moved to a nearby newly constructed facility in 1998. The building is named after Allan Rosenfield, a long-time dean of the Mailman School who was referred in The New York Times as a "giant in the world of public health." Renovation work on the building included increased sustainable features.
