My research investigates the impacts of both non-essential and essential metals on maternal and child health. I primarily study metal impacts on birth outcomes, early life growth, and cardiometabolic health with a focus on epigenetic mediators of toxicant exposures and metals toxicity in the context of nutritional status and complex environmental mixtures.
