Bio

Dr. Ni is an epidemiologist who has dedicated herself to understanding how key environmental exposures impact population health. She has a strong commitment in her work to 1) quantifying the impacts of air pollution exposures on varied maternal and child health outcomes, including pregnancy outcomes, child cardiometabolic health and neurodevelopment; 2) adopting an integrated approach to studying the interplay and totality of endocrine disrupting chemicals on child development; and 3) determining interactive effects of individual features, such as socioeconomic status and health behaviors, with environmental exposures, seeking to identify vulnerable subgroups.
