What you think you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine you create.
My research focuses on exploring the interaction between early-life environmental exposures and their impact on health outcomes, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) hypothesis. My doctoral research explored the impact of the exposome on molecular markers, with a focus on mitochondria and telomeres across various life stages.
As a postdoctoral researcher, my current work focuses on the first 1000 days of life, from conception through the second birthday. As the start of life is such an important yet vulnerable period, my current research interest is in identifying environmental factors related to children’s health to provide a better understanding of the routes of harmful exposures. I aim to investigate the transfer and effects of environmental pollutants from mother to child via the placenta during pregnancy and via breastfeeding after birth. This unique approach allows me to comprehensively examine the composition of environmental factors and their potential influence on early-life health outcomes.
