Her research investigates the long-term health effects of environmental exposures (arsenic and other metals, tobacco smoke, e-cigarettes, air pollution), their interactions with genetic and epigenetic variants, and effective interventions for reducing involuntary exposures. She collaborates with the Strong Heart Study, a study of cardiovascular disease and its risk factors in American Indian communities, and the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), a study of cardiovascular and lung disease in urban settings across the US. Her goals are to contribute to the reduction of environmental health disparities in underserved and disproportionately exposed populations.<\/p>\n<p>An interactive panel discussion to follow with Heather Gregory (EBCI) Dr. Tommy Rock (Navajo Nation) and Reno L.
