Michele La Merrill, Ph.D, a postdoctoral fellow in environmental pediatrics at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, investigates ways that environmental chemicals interact with genes to influence hormonal changes throughout life, including those associated with puberty timing, obesity, diabetes and breast cancer.
