  2. “The present era of epidemiology is coming to a close. The focus on risk factors at the individual level – the hallmark of this era – will no longer serve. We need to be concerned equally with causal pathways at the societal level and with pathogenesis and causality at the molecular level” – Susser & Susser, AJPH, 1996

  3. Individual Molecular Society Family

  4. “Eureka! I’ve discovered the gene that makes us think that everything is determined by genes.”

  5. “If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things” - Descartes, Philosopher, 1596 -1650

  6. “I had an immense advantage over many others dealing with the problem inasmuch as I had no fixed ideas derived from long-established practice to control and bias my mind, and did not suffer from the general belief that whatever is, is right”- Sir Henry Bessemer Inventor & Engineer, 1813 - 1898

  7. “A MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR EPIDEMIOLOGY today is to become an effective instrument in the SHAPING AND EVALUATION OF HEALTH POLICIES AND PRACTICES… Epidemiologists must OBTAIN AND ANALYSE THE INFORMATION NEEDED and PRESENT IT to health planners IN SUCH A WAY THAT THIS INFORMATION CAN BE USED in policy, planning and evaluation. Michel Thuriaux, Epidemiology and Statistics Unit, WHO Regional Office for Europe, 1992
