Research
Our work has focused on molecular epidemiology and monitoring of environmental exposures and effects associated with human health using a broad spectrum of biomarkers. Our scientific interests include functional genomics, epigenetics, reproductive toxicology and biobanking. Most of the projects in my Laboratory of Children’s Environmental Health are unified by the theme of biomarkers in children and fetal origins of human health. Currently, the main focus of research is on development and implementation of the genetic and epigenetic biomarkers in children studies, and on molecular mechanisms of obesity and neurotoxicity.
