Prologue
Public health biology provides a critical foundation
for the study of public health. In recent years, it has
become increasingly clear that public health
students at all levels need to understand the
biologic basis for public health. New developments
in genetics, immunology, and brain function require
a basic understanding of biology. New preventive,
diagnostic, and therapeutic technologies cannot be
successfully applied without such an understanding
of underlying biology.
