She / Her / Hers
This seminar will present an overview of the physiological windows of kidney susceptibility to environmental toxicants. We will examine published examples from Dr. Sanders’ group along with recent findings among pregnant women and preadolescent populations. We will discuss the implications of environmental risk factors to protecting long-term kidney health as well as potential integration of these works with in vitro and in vivo models.
About the Speaker: Dr. Sanders is an environmental health scientist with a background in engineering and environmental, molecular epidemiology. She directs the Laboratory for Molecular Epidemiology and Nephrotoxicology and her research program examines how toxic chemical exposures and their mixtures alter molecular pathways of pediatric and pregnancy-induced hypertension or kidney disease in population-based studies. In her research, Dr. Sanders employs molecular epidemiology and computational approaches to investigate the effects of environmental exposures and their mixtures. Her work focuses on exposures that may predispose susceptible populations to poor kidney function, chronic kidney disease (CKD) or CKD of unknown origin (CKDu).
