EMILY BARRETT, PhD Associate Professor, Biostatistics and Epidemiology, Rutgers School of Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute Director, Epidemiology Concentration, Rutgers School of Public Health Co-Director, Epidemiology Core, Rutgers Corona Cohort Study Co-Director, Human Exposures and Outcomes Core, Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute
Dr. Barrett studies the early origins of health and disease, or how exposures early in life shape health and developmental outcomes. Because gestation is a particularly sensitive period when body systems are first forming, exposures during this period may
have profound downstream effects. Dr. Barrett is particularly interested in how prenatal exposures to environmental chemicals and psychosocial stressors impact pregnancy and children’s development. She leads two pregnancy cohort studies, TIDES and UPSIDE, both part of the NIH’s Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes program, the largest study of the health and well-being of U.S. children. In TIDES, Dr. Barrett and colleagues are studying how prenatal exposure to certain chemicals impacts reproductive- and neuro-development, and whether the effects may differ based on gender. In UPSIDE, she and colleagues are examining the biological pathways by which prenatal psychosocial stressors impact children’s development, with an emphasis on sex steroid, inflammatory, and placental pathways.
