    Dr. Holland has taught and provided research assistance at University of California at Berkeley, Harvard, the University of Hawaii, and the National Universities of Australia and Mexico. She is currently one of the principal instructors of the following graduate courses at School of Public Health, UC Berkeley:

Molecular and Genetic Epidemiology (PB HLTH 256). Review of genetic epidemiology with emphasis on novel methods of molecular biology and genetics, including role of genetic factors in human disease and their interaction with environmental and cultural factors, population polymorphisms, role of inbreeding, and epidemiology of multifactorial diseases. Molecular epidemiology and the use of biological markers will be explored with the goal of illustrating both the power and limitations of biomarkers currently available for epidemiological research. Laboratory work and Internet demonstrations will provide students with hands-on experience with modern methods of molecular epidemiology.
(Offered Fall 2007)

Doctoral Seminar (PB HLTH 293). A discussion of current developments and issues in public health of interest to faculty and students of the department as a whole. Content varies from semester to semester depending upon current issues and interests.

Reproductive Hazards of Industrial Chemicals (PB HLTH 271B). The object of this course is to learn the fundamentals of human reproductive and developmental biology and reproductive epidemiology as it is related to reproductive hazards and to assess the risk of chemical exposure to humans by examining toxicologic and epidemiologic evidence for specific toxicants. This course also focuses on understanding the policital and economic ramifications of reproductive hazards.
