My primary research interest lies in the association between social exposures and health status and mortality. Specifically my work has examined the mediators and effect measure modifiers that link early life and demographic risk factors with health outcomes during middle and later age using large high dimensional datasets that include health record and biomarker data. I have applied research experience through my position as the manager of the emerging medical conditions subunit at the World Trade Center Health Registry.
