From exposure
to outcome.
Environmental exposures are responsible for 70%–90% of disease risk.
〰️
Environmental exposures contribute to nearly 1 in 6 deaths worldwide.
〰️
Over 350,000 chemicals circulate through global environments and human bodies.
〰️
Over 97% of people carry detectable levels of persistent chemicals.

Decoding how various environments influence human health - examining factors from the molecular level all the way to entire populations.
We fuse clinical translational research with environmental epidemiology, physiology, and omics’ research (e.g., microbiome, metabolome). Current research projects are working to fill critical gaps in our understanding of how environmental exposures affect the gut microbiome and disease risk, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes.
