Center Member Research Presentation: Su Chu, PhD, MS and Katie Tomsho, PhD, MPH
Join us for a Center Member Research Presentation by Dr. Su Chu and Dr. Katie Tomsho. Dr. Chu will present on Immune activation, neurodevelopment, and risk of offspring ADHD: a survey of the circulating maternal metabolome during pregnancy and Dr. Tomsho will present on Exploring associations between environmental health literacy, biomarkers of exposure, and behaviors.
Dr. Su H. Chu is an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and an associate statistician at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. A biostatistician and molecular epidemiologist by training, her current research focus revolves around characterizing the integrative metabolomic landscape of asthma and ADHD comorbidity observed in childhood and across the lifecourse. She has developed novel methods for integrative multiomic gene set analysis, and led one of the first epigenome-wide applications of mediation analysis. Dr. Chu also serves on the Executive Steering Committee of the Consortium of Metabolomics Studies (COMETS; supported by the National Cancer Institute), and is the chair of its Statistics Working Group.
Dr. Katie Tomsho is an Instructor and Director of the Environmental Justice and Health Program in the Environmental Health department at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She received her B.A. in Environmental Studies at Dickinson College, and her MPH at Boston University School of Public Health. Her prior experiences as a community organizer focused on environmental science led to her interest in effective communication of environmental health data. She is interested in research focused on environmental exposure data report back and environmental health literacy.
This event will be held in person in HSPH Bldg. 1, 1302 and via Zoom. Register here.
