Research Interests
My research focuses on developmental and reproductive toxicity, particularly aimed at preventing birth defects. I am interested in the maternal and paternal influences on fetal development of the nervous and immune systems. I examine how parental environmental exposures, nutrition, and the microbiome alter development, with an emphasis on folic acid, and common quaternary ammonium disinfectants and cleaners.
