Research project studying the effects of prenatal PFAS exposure on adolescent cardiometabolic health using metabolomic profiles in cohorts from Canada and Ohio.
Description
This project investigates the impact of prenatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on adolescent health, focusing on obesity, blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. Using advanced analytical chemistry and biostatistical methods, the study links prenatal PFAS mixtures, metabolomic biomarkers, and cardiometabolic disease outcomes in cohorts from Canada and Ohio.
