Perry's research uses spatial exposure assessment methods to determine the chronic health effects associated with exposure to air pollution, including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and cancer.

Molly Kile, ScD
Professor

Molly's research interests are environmental, molecular epidemiology and global health. She is interested in understanding how exposure to chemicals in our environment influences maternal and child health. Specifically, she is interested in how chemical exposures in utero may alter epigenetic mechanisms that could contribute to chronic diseases later in life.

Laurel Kincl, PhD
