Mahasin Mujahid, received her Ph.D. in Epidemiology from The University of Michigan in January 2007. She also holds a B.S. in Mathematics from Xavier University, New Orleans LA and a M.S. in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan. Her dissertation examined the relationship between residential environments and cardiovascular disease risk factors and outcomes as well as the contribution of neighborhood environments to racial/ethnic disparities in cardiovascular health. This work allowed her to apply innovative techniques for addressing various methodological issues involved in the development, measurement, and validation of neighborhood and ecologic measures. Her general research interests include: 1) racial/ethnic disparities in chronic disease, 2) methodological and theoretical issues related to the study of the upstream determinants of health, and 3) the design and implementation of interventions that target marginalized populations to improve access to health enriching opportunity structures.
