Welcome!

Our lab is based in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. Our team conducts justice-oriented research on US drinking water epidemiology and exposure assessment, metal exposures, chronic disease, and maternal and infant health, leveraging collaborations with several large NIH-funded cohorts.

Recent work by our group includes epidemiologic analyses of public water contaminants and infant, maternal, and chronic adverse outcomes; methodological advances for public water exposure assessment; evaluations of federal drinking water policies and regulatory changes; and analyses of injustices in public drinking water contaminants.

Our long-term scientific goal is to reduce disparities in environmental exposures and adverse health outcomes, and improve health for all. By advancing public water exposure assessment, epidemiology, and policy/intervention work across the US, we aim to advance environmental justice, improve health equity, and directly inform regulations and other exposure-reduction interventions.


“Health is a human right. The public health community exists to safeguard that right.”
