Air pollution is one of the largest sources of exposure to environmental toxicants yet we are only beginning to understand how it impacts human reproduction. My research investigates the specific pollutants, climate-change related conditions, time windows of susceptibility, and biological mechanisms underlying the associations between air pollution and fertility in men and women. 

The inability to become pregnant and carry a pregnancy to birth are among the most common health problems of reproductive-aged couples. Despite its frequency, few modifiable risk factors for subfecundity and pregnancy loss are known. My research is focused on expanding the knowledge on how diet, lifestyle, and occupational factors impact human fertility and fecundity.

An emerging focus of my work is the integration of omics (e.g. metabolomic and epigenetic) technologies into studies of human reproduction to elucidate biologically relevant pathways associated with environmental exposures and reproductive health outcomes.
