Maya Deyssenroth

  • Assistant Professor of Environmental Health Sciences
Profile Headshot

Overview

Maya Deyssenroth is a molecular epidemiologist with a focus on studying pathways through which the placenta conveys intrauterine exposures on postnatal health outcomes.  Within this research scope, Dr. Deyssenroth incorporates biostatistical and bioinformatic tools to evaluate multi-pollutant exposures and high dimensional genomic profiles to elucidate signatures reflective of early life programming of health and disease.
