Our team leads genomic and epigenomic analyses in a number of prospective longitudinal cohorts in the US, Canada, the Philippines, and Viet Nam, which provide considerable scope for describing the impact of climate change on maternal and child health outcomes. Specifically, current work within our group seeks to determine if early intervention(s) can moderate the impact of different forms of prenatal adversity (e.g., chemical exposures, psychosocial stress, heat stress) on measures of maternal and child health outcomes. This research occurs within a collaborative multidisciplinary team including economists, psychologists, biologists, and biostatisticians.
