Her exposure assessment strategies aim to reduce exposure misclassification for epidemiologic studies, advancing understanding of relationships between exposure to environmental chemicals and risk of adverse health outcomes, particularly among women and children. She served as principal investigator of a study funded by the American Cancer Society evaluating co-exposures to multiple flame retardants, pesticides, and other persistent pollutants and thyroid cancer risk in adult women, and is now leading a project studying environmental exposures and pediatric thyroid cancers.
