Personal profile
Short presentation
My principal area of interest is to estimate environmental effects on health using big data.
I investigate the effects of air pollution, noise, and climate on cardiovascular diseases and psychiatric disorders in the population by linking the register-based health and historical exposure data.
I am also involved in several cohort studies of children, women, and the elderly. I examine the effects of air pollution and endocrine disrupting chemicals on growth and neurocognitive development in children and cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases in women and the elderly. In addition, I am interested in the roles of the gene, DNA methylation, and microbiome on environmental health.
Possible conflicts of interest
I have no conflict of interest.
