Forskning

My research focus on understanding how the environment impacts human development and adult homeostasis. I am doing this by using clinical studies in combination with animal models, cellular assays, and modelling. The central aims of this work have been in a translational manner to understand disease mechanisms and create better treatment for patients by: (i) identifying new drug targets; (ii) understanding side effects of drugs already in the clinic; and (iii) understanding how ubiquitous xenobiotics can drive recent increases in prevalence of adverse health outcomes within reproduction, metabolism, and neurobiology. My studies have led to work at Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, USA), Mont Sinai Hospital (NYC, USA), and Inserm (Rennes, France). I am affiliated as Senior Scientist to Inserm.
