About:

I currently hold the position of Bridge to Faculty (B2F) Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Illinois Chicago. My current research focuses on investigating the impact of environmental exposures (metals, POPs) on neurodevelopment and other chronic diseases such as cardiometabolic disease and cancer. My professional journey has provided me with a diverse background in epidemiology, encompassing environmental, social, and clinical aspects.

I highly appreciate diversity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging. My dedication extends to fostering these principles not only in research, academia, and clinical practice but also in other spheres.

Research Areas:

My interests lie in the intersection between environmental exposures and health outcomes:

-Environmental epidemiology

-Molecular epidemiology

-Maternal-child health

In my research, I´m applying the latest generation of quantitative methods in epidemiology and new causal inference methods.
