Watch: Advancing Women’s Health through the Mount Sinai Life-course Exposomics Analytic Program (LEAP)

In this webinar, Dr. Wright introduces the Mount Sinai Life-course Exposomics Analytic Program (LEAP). LEAP is the first research training initiative to fully integrate exposomics into women’s health, advancing a more comprehensive understanding of how environmental, social, nutritional, and chemical exposures affect health over time. Dr. Wright will discuss critical gaps in women’s health research, emerging opportunities for discovery, and how advances in exposomics can accelerate progress toward improved clinical care.

Watch: Microplastics, Nanoplastics, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease

In this webinar, Manasi Agrawal will present the latest scientific findings on how microplastics and nanoplastics may influence gut health and contribute to the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. Dr. Agrawal will highlight the novel methodologies her team is using to characterize pollutants in the human body, offering new insights into prevention and early detection. The session will conclude with practical, evidence-based tips for reducing plastic exposures in everyday life.

Watch: Exposomics, Longevity and Health Span – Understanding the Origins of Alzheimer’s Disease

Watch a webinar featuring Dr. Robert Wright. He discusses how brain health is a lifelong trajectory and how risk begins many years before a diagnosis. Alzheimer’s risk is shaped by exposures and health states across decades, including early life (even prenatal) influences and midlife risk factors.

The Missing Piece in Stroke Risk – Environmental Factors

In this 45-minute webinar, Maayan Yitshak-Sade, PhD, shares her research on environmental risk factors for stroke, focusing on temperature, greenness, and air pollution.  Dr. Yitshak-Sade is an environmental epidemiologist, and she investigates the complex health effects of exposure mixtures and their impacts on morbidity, mortality, and life expectancy across demographic and socioeconomic population groups in the United States.

The Brain in Focus: Environmental Exposures, MRI, and Adolescent Brain Health

Megan K. Horton, PhD MPH works within the ongoing longitudinal birth cohort in Mexico City called PROGRESS. In this webinar, she will discuss cutting edge research linking early life metal exposure reconstructed from baby teeth with structural and function brain changes measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in children and adolescents.
