Carmen J. Marsit, PhD is Executive Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Research Strategy, Rollins Distinguished Professor of Research, and Professor in the Gangarosa Department of Environmental Health and Department of Epidemiology at the Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University. He leads a multi-disciplinary research program focused on understanding the impacts of the pre- and perinatal environments on maternal and child health, utilizing the tools of genomics, epigenomics, and bioinformatics to uncover mechanisms underlying the impact of the environment on health within epidemiologic studies. His current projects are examining the impacts of maternal structural, psychosocial, and chemical exposures on the transcriptomes and epigenomes of the placenta in populations in the United States and in Thailand. Dr. Marsit serves as Director of the NIEHS-funded Emory HERCULES Exposome Research Center and Training Program in the Environmental Health Sciences and Toxicology.
Title of Talk: Using the Placenta to Study the Exposome of Children’s Health
The placenta plays critical roles in the process of development, and its functions can be examined using molecular profiling techniques. In this seminar, we will discuss the evidence of the importance of the placenta on newborn and early life children’s health and the ways in which genetic variation and the environment influence placenta’s function in programming children’s health and its utility to understand the in utero experience of the developing fetus.
