This award funds the Integrated Health Sciences Facility Core at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to support environmental health science research using advanced technologies and focusing on health promotion and chronic disease research across the lifespan.
Description
The project aims to promote team-based environmental health science research focusing on developmental origins of health and disease, incorporating new initiatives in clinical research and a life course approach. The Center fosters studies on life-stage specific research using advanced technologies such as the exposome, novel biomarkers, and satellite remote sensing. It emphasizes health promotion, especially in ultraprocessed food chemicals and clinical populations like children with Autism. The core element, the Integrated Health Sciences Facility Core (IHSFC), serves as a central hub providing expertise, resources, and access to biomarkers, biorepositories, and clinical populations to facilitate research on chronic diseases.
