Details
Anna Young, PhD, MSPHDr. Young is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. Her research examines the impact of exposures to thousands of chemicals on fertility, women's health, and menstrual health. She specializes in the untargeted chemical exposome and metabolome using advanced data science techniques to identify cumulative health effects of complex chemical mixtures, discover previously unknown environmental risk factors, and elucidate underlying biological mechanisms of disease.
Julia Varshavsky, PhD, MPHDr. Varshavsky is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Health at Northeastern University, with a joint appointment in the Department of Health Sciences, Bouve College of Health Sciences, and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, College of Engineering. Julia studies modifiable environmental exposures, with a focus on PFAS and maternal-child health outcomes in susceptible and highly exposed populations. Julia's research also includes advancing systematic review and risk assessment to inform decision-making, strengthening report-back and community-engaged research, and bridging the gap between health and sustainability, including a focus on green chemistry/engineering, and plastics.
