Rosalind J Wright

Rosalind J Wright, MD, MPH, is a developmental epidemiologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Her research focuses on early life environmental influences on developmental diseases, including asthma, obesity, neurobehavioral development, and lung growth. She directs the Asthma Coalition on Community, Environment, and Social Stress (ACCESS) and the Programming of Intergenerational Stress Mechanisms (PRISM) study funded by NHLBI. Her work integrates biomarker analysis of stress pathways (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, immune maturation, epigenetics) with social and physical environmental factors.

Research Interests:

• Developmental epidemiology
• Environmental health disparities
• Psychosocial and chemical stressor interactions
• Epigenetic mechanisms
• Pediatric respiratory and metabolic outcomes

Publications analyze maternal stress effects, prenatal metal exposure, and exposome impacts on developmental trajectories across neurobehavioral, respiratory, and reproductive health domains.
