Service, education and research are the primary tenets of the University Hygienic Laboratory
(UHL), Iowa's environmental and public health laboratory. The UHL increases awareness about
the impact humans have on the environment and the many ways to preserve it through education
and training. UHL educates its environmental and public health partners about the presence
of infectious diseases and how to prevent them from spreading throughout the population. UHL
teaches laboratorians throughout Iowa how to prepare for maladies such as pandemic influenza
and also test for harmful agents used in biological and chemical terrorism.
The UHL supplements its education and training activities with in-house learning
opportunities at both the Iowa City and Ankeny laboratory facilities. We provide
internships, fellowships and job shadowing opportunities which allow young scientists to
observe and experience the environment of the public health laboratory. Teachers are also
welcomed at both facilities to observe techniques used in a working laboratory.
Take a few minutes to learn more about UHL's diverse education and training programs by

directly via Email the UHL.
