Profile Headshot

Overview

Dr. Sanchez is a trained environmental and molecular epidemiologist. She employs a multi-disciplinary approach to investigate two main research themes: 1) understanding how metals and metal-mixtures affect lung disease development across urban and rural populations and 2) identifying molecular signatures of environmental- and metal-related lung disease using a multi-omics approach. Her long-term goals are to extend the knowledge of environmentally-related respiratory disease and identify prevention interventions.
