The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has received a prestigious $4.5 million, five-year K12 award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to establish a pioneering program that will train the next generation of leaders in women’s health research.
Rosalind Wright, MD MPH has seen middle-aged patients with conditions such as chronic lung disease, obesity, cognitive decline, and heart disease — conditions whose roots can be traced back many years, even to conditions prior to birth, during their mother’s pregnancy. “The trajectory is set, often, very early on,” she said. “And it’s really a host of environmental factors acting together and cumulatively.”
Dr. Wright joined Corey Powell, Co-Editor in Chief on the OpenMind podcast for an in-depth discussion, unravelling how everyday elements like air pollution, dietary habits, and emotional experiences create a “toxic soup” that can affect cognitive functions from infancy to old age.
Rosalind J. Wright, MD, MPH, appointed inaugural Dean for Public Health and Chair of the new Department of Public Health to spearhead a state-of-the-art curriculum in public health research, education, and practice that will systematically integrate with medicine, population health, global health, neurosciences, environmental medicine, data science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) disciplines.
