O Laboratório de Epidemiologia- LabEpi, foi criado em 2006 junto ao Programa de Pós-graduação em Doenças Infecciosas da UFES. E tem como bjetivos: realizar pesquisas epidemiológicas na área de doenças infecciosas; oferecer consultoria tanto em métodos de pesquisa, orientando pesquisadores em ciências da saúde em relação ao delineamento de seus projetos de pesquisa, desde a criação de um banco de dados até a análise estatística dos resultados; e divulgar novas metodologias aplicadas às pesquisas em ciências da saúde. Isto inclui também a divulgação de métodos que já existem, mas que os investigadores tem pouca familiaridade.

Além disso, atua no desenvolvimento de pesquisas multicêntricos,celebra parcerias com instituições internacionais para o intercâmbio visando a capacitação de seus pesquisadores; aproxima-se dos serviços de saúde através das parcerias com as instituições públicas para a capacitação dos profissionais de saúde que atuam no controle da tuberculose e outras Doenças Infecciosas.
