Our new pre-print is out! In this lipidomic analysis of pregnancy outcomes, we find that specific phospholipids and free fatty acids are linked to spontaneous preterm birth in the PROTECT cohort 627EEA John Meeker Bhramar Mukherjee Deborah Watkins researchsquare.com/article/rs-138…

In our recent Environment International paper collaborating with Zorimar Rivera-Núñez we explored the relationships between metals and prenatal sex-steroid hormones. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our latest National Association to Protect Children paper characterizing associations of #metal and oxidative stress #biomarkers: mdpi.com/2076-3921/10/1…

Our recent findings among children in Mexico City suggest that essential and non-essential metals have the potential to disrupt the onset and progression of puberty via interrupting the critical hormonal pathways. ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Excellent work by Max Aung, PhD, MPH on handling the analysis of complex mixtures. #exposome #meekerlab

Amazing breadth and depth in this morning’s dissertation defense by 627EEA. Congratulations!

In the PROTECT cohort, we explored #lipidomic signatures of pregnancy outcomes and find free fatty acids as important predictors of preterm birth, which complements our previous findings with #eicosanoids nature.com/articles/s4159…

Widely used herbicide linked to preterm births news.umich.edu/widely-used-he…

A recent University of Michigan School of Public Health study linked a chemical widely used in herbicide with preterm births. John Meeker, professor of Environmental Health Sciences, sat down with 89.1 WEMU to discuss the findings. Listen 🔊 myumi.ch/zxQ9G

Such an honor to be asked to speak on Agents of Change podcast with Max Aung, PhD, MPH and @amizota And so important to be talking about equitable policy change to protect health and address environmental injustices.

I'm very excited to share the third aim of my doctoral dissertation showing #hormones mediate the association between #phthalate #mixtures and timing of delivery in #PROTECT Meeker/Watkins Lab Max Aung, PhD, MPH University of Michigan School of Public Health Bhramar Mukherjee PROTECT rdcu.be/cEpcK

Our prepint is now published in JESEE! We report #lipidomic signatures associated with #phthalate exposures during pregnancy in the PROTECT cohort. Lipid-mediated mechanisms may be an important link for downstream health outcomes! nature.com/articles/s4137…

Check out the latest work from the Meeker/Watkins Lab, by postdoc Christine Kim, showing significant associations between #metals exposure and matrix metalloproteinases during pregnancy authors.elsevier.com/c/1eYv43Ao5-p1Y PROTECT University of Michigan School of Public Health John Meeker Deborah Watkins Bhramar Mukherjee

In a recent NIH-funded study, researchers from University of Michigan School of Public Health, UC San Francisco, & other institutions discovered a significant increase in exposure to chemicals among pregnant women. They also found that women of color & of lower socioeconomic status had higher exposure. myumi.ch/5WMdw

Excited to be at #ISEE2022 in person with #UMich_EHS colleagues and students, Shannon Park, Jessa Ehlinger, The Dr. Amber Cathey, Ram Siwakoti, Savannah Sturla, Deborah Watkins

#UMich_EHS is having another great day at #ISEE2022!
