Personal Statement
My main interest lies in the field of contamination, especially regarding human reproduction and children's growth, developmental abilities, and the processes involved with puberty. Examples of my research include extensive studies involving pesticide exposure in Mexico, heavy metal exposure in Asia and the effects of the Bhopal accident on the second generation of parents exposed to methyl isocyonate. The findings are presented internationally for policy development and directing future research. I have worked with the United Nations and other international organizations, using a multidisciplinary approach for education and advocacy in decreasing contaminant exposures. I believe that any education should encourage independent decision making based on a range of knowledge.
