I'm an Environmental Epidemiologist with expertise in quantifying health impacts of environmental exposures. My research focuses on evaluating associations between gestational and childhood exposures to environmental chemical mixtures using biomarkers and adverse human health outcomes.

Majority of my work is focused on Neurodevelopment, Neurodegeneration, and Birth outcomes.

I leverage biological intermediates such as the Epigenome, Transcriptome, Proteome, and Metabolome to identify potential biological mechanisms underlying exposure-response associations. Among the environmental chemical exposures, I focus on air pollutants (PAHs, Toxic metals), forever chemicals (PFAS), flame retardants (PBDEs, OPEs), industrial chemicals (PCBs), consumer products (phthalates, phenols, parabens), pesticides (organochlorine, organophosphate).

As a NIEHS K99 grantee, I investigate the mechanistic associations between life course exposure to EDC mixtures (PBDEs, OPEs, Phthalates) , and adolescent behavioral outcomes, using epigenome, proteome, and neuroimaging as potential mediators to understand the underlying mechanisms.

I received a Ph.D. in Environmental Health and Toxicology and MPH-Epidemiology, from the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Additionally, completed PharmD from RGUHS - India.

Ultimately my goal is to synthesize quantitative evidence from population-based studies to support environmental health education and policy change, to improve human well-being.
