Dr. Caban-Martinez's program of research concerns the
prevention of musculoskeletal disorders among U.S.
workers. As a postdoctoral research fellow in the
Environmental and Occupational & Epidemiology Program
in the Department of Environmental Health at the
Harvard School of Public Health, he is developing an
interdisciplinary and collaborative program of research
in occupational health with an emphasis in the
assessment and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders.
One component of his research program focuses on
examining ergonomic and occupational risk factors that
lead to musculoskeletal disorders. Another component of
his research program explores how workers with
arthritis could benefit from occupational health and
safety interventions (e.g. ergonomics, materials
handling) that reduce joint pain symptoms and improve
worker quality of life at the workplace.
