Eryn Matich

Eryn Matich, Ph.D., is an Instructor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. She holds a PhD in Chemistry from the University at Buffalo and a BA in Chemistry from Alfred University. Her postdoctoral training focused on environmental health sciences at UAMS.

Her research integrates metabolomics with environmental and behavioral exposure studies, particularly examining cancer etiology (especially colorectal cancer), health disparities among African American populations, and the ecological impacts of emerging contaminants. She has conducted geospatial analyses of pesticide exposure risks and explored community-level factors influencing colorectal health equity. Her work also extends to aquatic toxicology, including estrogenic compound effects on fish and metabolic responses in microalgae under stress conditions.

Dr. Matich teaches COPH 5003: Intro to Public Health. Her publications span 2013–2024, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to environmental health, oncology, and public health disparities. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided materials. While no grant details are listed, her research consistently addresses critical public health issues through environmental epidemiology and metabolomic methodologies.
