Upcoming Events.
SCEHSC/ShARP Seminar | Lidia Mínguez-Alarcón
Join us for November's SCEHSC Seminar, where Dr. Lidia Mínguez-Alarcón will discuss health effects of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals in humans, with special focus on a) diet-chemical interactions, b) paternal contributions to pregnancy outcomes and c) chemical mixtures.
Dr. Mínguez-Alarcón is a Spanish epidemiologist with joint appointments both at the Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital (Assistant Professor of Medicine/Lead Investigator). Her research focuses on identifying chemical and non-chemical stressors of human fertility, reproductive and cardiometabolic health. Results from her work have been used by national and international agencies (e.g. European Food Safety Authority). Dr. Mínguez-Alarcón is the PI of the NIH funded Longitudinal Investigation of Health and Diseases after Infertility (LIHDI) Study, which is prospectively exploring chemical exposures during reproductive years in relation to long-term cardiovascular and metabolic health. She is also the PI of another NIH R01 that evaluates paternal pesticide exposure in relation to couple's pregnancy outcomes and associations with sperm and leukocyte epigenome. She brings her expertise to the Science of the Total Environment (STOTEN) journal as an Associate Editor and the Reproductive, Perinatal and Pediatric Health (RPPH) NIH study section as a Grant Reviewer. Most of her teaching includes mentoring of individual students from Harvard TH Chan as well as residents and fellows at Harvard-affiliated hospitals.

SCEHSC Seminar | Donghai Liang, PhD, MPH
Join us for September’s SCEHSC Seminar where Dr. Donghai Liang will present his seminar “Decoding the Human Exposome: Omics Approaches to Uncover Molecular Signatures & Pathways Linking Environmental Exposures to Disease.” He will discuss how high-throughput omics can decode the human exposome and reveal how environmental exposures drive disease, with a focus on multi-omics integration and impacts on vulnerable populations.
Dr. Liang is an exposure scientist and molecular epidemiologist whose research uses high-resolution metabolomics and multi-omics to investigate how environmental pollutants contribute to disease. He leads the EMERGE lab at Emory, holds leadership roles in ISES and COMETS, and has received honors including the ISES Joan M. Daisey Award and Emory’s Early Career Research Excellence Award.

SCEHSC Seminar | Rosemarie de la Rosa, PhD, MPH
Join us for May’s SCEHSC Seminar, where Dr. Rosemarie de la Rosa will discuss health impacts of chemical and psychosocial stressors, highlighting cumulative risk frameworks, biological burden measures, framework applications and implications for health equity.
Dr. de la Rosa is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences at the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. de la Rosa’s research examines how early-life social environments influence biological responses to pollution, with a focus on health equity. Her work integrates toxicology, epidemiology, and molecular biology to study stress, resilience, and environmental exposures in diverse communities.
