Biography

I am a researcher with a PhD in Public Health and Epidemiology and extensive experience in human studies. My research focuses on understanding how exposure to chemicals can affect human health, with a particular interest in the health effects and underlying mechanisms of occupational exposures. I lead complex human research studies from planning through execution and analysis, including the coordination of multidisciplinary field teams and external stakeholders, participant recruitment and study logistics, biological sampling and data quality. My experience in human repeated measurement studies includes serving as a Principal Investigator, with expertise in study design, ethics applications, chemical exposure assessment, the investigation of systemic inflammation, lung function, cardiovascular effects, heat stress, and biomarkers of genotoxicity, statistical analysis and scientific reporting. I also have experience in hazard assessment and I was a member of the IARC Monograph Working Group that evaluated the carcinogenicity of occupational exposure as a firefighter.
