Title: Effects of BPA and Phthalates on Adiposity and Metabolic Risk Factors in Women
NIEHS K99 ES023474, 1/29/2014 – 1/28/2016
Role: Principal Investigator
This study will examine whether exposures to BPA and phthalates during pregnancy and the postpartum
are associated with the development of adiposity and cardio-metabolic health indicators in women.
