معرفی
Dr. Jessica Laine Carmeli is a Research Assistant at the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine (ISPM) and the Multidisciplinary Center for Infectious Diseases (MCID) at the University of Bern. Her work bridges maternal and child health with environmental exposome research, focusing on causal inference and physiological birth processes.
- Education: PhD in Epidemiology (2011-2017), University of North Carolina Chapel Hill; MSc in Biology (2006-2009), Appalachian State University; BS in Biology (2003-2006), Appalachian State University.
Research Interests include:
- Exposomics: Investigating environmental, lifestyle, and molecular mediators of non-communicable diseases.
- Maternal and Child Health: Analyzing breastfeeding barriers in Switzerland and arsenic exposure impacts on birth outcomes.
- Causal Inference: Applying counterfactual models to assess socioeconomic disparities in health outcomes.
- Physiological Birth: Exploring matrescence and matricentric feminism in healthcare frameworks.
Article Trends reveal a focus on environmental exposures (air pollution, arsenic, cadmium), dietary impacts on health, and molecular mechanisms linking early-life exposures to long-term outcomes. Her work integrates multi-omics data and exposome theory, emphasizing sustainable health strategies.
Scientific Awards:
- Medical Research Council Early Career Research Fellow (2017-2020).
- National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences T32 Trainee (2011-2012).
Affiliations: She has held honorary and postdoctoral roles at Imperial College London and Duke University, with expertise in epidemiology and environmental health sciences.
