Early Life Environmental Programming of Lung Health: Moving Towards an Exposomic Framework

Speaker: Rosalind J. Wright, MD, MPH

Rosalind J. Wright, MD, MPH

Rosalind J. Wright, M.D., M.P.H., is the Dean of Public Health and the Horace W. Goldsmith Chair of the Department of Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.

Dr. Wright is a transdisciplinary life course epidemiologist with a primary interest in prenatal and early childhood predictors of developmental disorders including asthma, obesity, neurobehavioral outcomes, sleep, and antecedents of chronic cardiometabolic disorders. She has expertise in environmental health, stress research, genetics/epigenetics, and nutritional epidemiology. Dr. Wright’s research considers environmental interactions (e.g., stress, nutritional factors, air pollution, aeroallergens, chemicals, tobacco smoke) as well as gene x environment interactions in disease programming. She has pioneered longitudinal epidemiological studies demonstrating the role of toxic stress in perinatal programming of chronic disease risk and elucidation of the mechanisms underlying this association. Dr. Wright’s group also conducts research examining the importance of specific micronutrients in prenatal programming of long-term health and how various dietary components may mitigate or enhance the impact of chemical as well as non-chemical stressors during early development. More recent work focuses on the role of nurturing caregiving environments in early life in mitigating effects of environmental toxins.
