Center Member Research Presentation: Mi-Sun Lee, PhD
Join us for a Center Member Research Presentation by Dr. Mi-Sun Lee on Environmental exposures, biomarkers, and early life health. Following a brief presentation, there will be time for all participants to engage in a cross-disciplinary discussion with Dr. Lee and each other.
Abstract: This talk will highlight findings from pilot and cohort studies motivated by pressing social and public health concerns, examining how environmental exposures affect pregnancy and early-life health. Dr. Lee will present biomarker-based results on PAH exposure in children living near a steel mill, metals and biomass fuel exposures in a birth cohort in Bangladesh, and youth vaping. She will also briefly introduce ongoing work in the Boston Lung Cancer Study.
About the speaker: Mi-Sun Lee, PhD, MPH, is a Research Scientist in environmental and molecular epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Her work focuses on the health effects of environmental exposures—such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals, and air pollution—on cardiopulmonary and pregnancy outcomes, with an emphasis on emerging public health concerns. She has conducted biomarker-based studies of PAH exposure in children living near a steel mill in South Korea; birth cohort studies in Bangladesh examining metal mixtures, household air pollution, and adverse pregnancy outcomes; and studies of environmental and molecular markers in lung cancer. Her recent projects include angiogenic markers and stillbirth in Bangladesh and ambient particle radioactivity and survival in the Boston Lung Cancer Study (BLCS).
This event will be held in person in HSPH Bldg. 1, 1302 and via Zoom. Register here
