The Michigan Fisheater Study: To determine the extent to what serum levels of PCBs and DDE (a metabolite of the insecticide DDT) in grand-mothers change the disease risk in their offspring.
Breastfeeding and child health: Is breastfeeding improving child health and what is the role of immune markers and fatty acids in breast milk?
The Narodichi Children Study: To examine health sequels in children after the Chernobyl accidents in 1986. Since radioactive exposure has a long half-life, even 30 years after the accident, we detect adverse health outcomes.
Long-term lung health after chlorine gas exposure (PI: Dr. Erik Svendsen at the Medical University of South Carolina): To assess health consequences after a rail disaster in Graniteville, South Carolina, in 2005 releasing a huge amount of chlorine gas and exposing a large population (n~5,000).
