hippocrates
john snow is famous for his investigations into the causes of the 19th century cholera epidemics, and is also known as the father of (modern) epidemiology. he began with noticing the significantly higher death rates in two areas supplied by southwark company. his identification of the broad street pump as the cause of the soho epidemic is considered the classic example of epidemiology. snow used chlorine in an attempt to clean the water and removed the handle; this ended the outbreak. this has been perceived as a major event in the history of public health and regarded as the founding event of the science of epidemiology, having helped shape public health policies around the world. however, snow's research and preventive measures to avoid further outbreaks were not fully accepted or put into practice until after his death.

molecular pathological epidemiology









































molecular pathological epidemiology (mpe, also molecular pathologic epidemiology) is a discipline combining epidemiology and pathology. it is defined as "epidemiology of molecular pathology and heterogeneity of disease". pathology and epidemiology share the same goal of elucidating etiology of disease, and mpe aims to achieve this goal at molecular, individual and population levels. typically, mpe utilizes tissue pathology resources and data within existing epidemiology studies. molecular epidemiology broadly encompasses mpe and conventional-type molecular epidemiology with the use of traditional disease designation systems.
