... Prior to joining George Mason in October 2017, Dr. Buck Louis was the director for the Division of Intramural Population Health Research at the NIH Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, where she conducted research aimed at enhancing the health and well-being of fetuses, pregnant women, children, and young adults.
From page 80...
... She is the founding donor of the Flint Child Health and Development Fund. She is a Charles Stewart Mott Endowed Professor of Public Health and an associate professor of pediatrics and human development at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.
From page 81...
... She is a leader in the field of children's environmental health, serving on the external science board for the ECHO NIH Research work. She is a coleader of the health/science initiative of the Cancer Free Economy Network, cochair of the National Environmental Health Partnership Council, board chair for the Pesticide Action Network of North America, board member for the Environmental Integrity Project, and on the Maryland Children's Environmental Health Advisory Council.
From page 82...
... He was awarded an Australian government scholarship to study the uptake of environmental metal toxicants and its impact on human health and then was accepted as a postdoctoral fellow at the Environmental and Occupational Medicine and Epidemiology program at the Harvard School of Public Health. He is a professor and vice chairman of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, division chief of Environmental Health, and director of the Laboratory for Exposomic Innovation and Precision Environmental Medicine.
From page 83...
... Her research focuses on the pharmacokinetic behavior of environmental chemicals, toxicants' mechanisms of action, including endocrine disruption, and linking real-world exposures to health effects. She is an adjunct professor in the Gillings School of Global Public Health, ­Curriculum in Toxicology, and Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as in the Integrated Toxicology and Environmental Health Program at Duke University, where she is also a scholar in residence.

... His National Academies service included member of the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology; chair of the Committee on Improving Risk Analysis that produced the report Science and Decisions; chair of the Committee on Human Biomonitoring for Environmental Toxicants; and member of the Committee on Science for EPA's Future. He is a fellow of the Society for Risk Analysis and a lifetime National Associate of the National Academies.
From page 85...
... Her research interests are in the effects of environmental exposures (such as pesticides, lead, solvents, dioxin, and tobacco smoke) on reproductive, perinatal, and children's health, the reproductive and development effects of environmental toxicants on fetal and child health and reproductive health in men and women, and reproductive and pediatric epidemiology.
From page 86...
... Dr. Juarez has been at the forefront nationally in using the exposome paradigm to identify the mechanisms and pathways through which environmental exposures "get under the skin." He has led a transdisciplinary team that pioneered efforts that look at the effects of the natural, built, and social environments on health and health disparities at critical developmental periods and apply "big data" computational methods and analytics to population health.
From page 87...
... His research examines health impacts of toxic environmental hazards. His CDC ­studies of lead conducted in the 1970s demonstrated that low-level expo sure reduces children's IQ and contributed to the EPA's 1975 decision to remove lead from paint and gasoline, which reduced blood lead levels by 95 percent and increased the IQ of all U.S.
From page 88...
... Miller is a pediatrician whose work focuses on integrating children's development and unique vulnerabilities into environmental health risk assessment. He has also worked to integrate education about the toxic effects of environmental chemicals in pregnant women and children into medical education and clinical practice.
