معرفی
Dr. Carmen Marsit is the Rollins Distinguished Professor of Research and Executive Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Research Strategy at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health. He leads the NIEHS-funded HERCULES Exposome Research Center and the T32 Training Program in Environmental Health Sciences. His work focuses on molecular mechanisms linking environmental exposures to human diseases, particularly cancer, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and childhood disorders, using interdisciplinary approaches including epigenomics and '-omics' technologies. Marsit earned his Ph.D. in Biological Sciences in Public Health from Harvard University and held prior faculty positions at Brown University and Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine.
- Education: B.S., Lafayette College; Ph.D., Harvard University.
- Research Interests: Environmental epigenetics, placental biology, and the exposome's role in health disparities. Current projects include the Rhode Island Child Health Study (RICHS), examining placental impacts on child health.
- Grants & Awards: Multiple NIH R01 grants, leadership in NIEHS/EPA Children's Environmental Health Centers, and international advisory roles.
His publications emphasize environmental exposures' molecular pathways, with recent work on pyrethroid pesticide effects, PM2.5 metabolism, and epigenetic aging in child health outcomes. Marsit collaborates globally on exposome research and trains future environmental health scientists through NIH-funded programs.
