< Back to TRGs List Chemical Mixtures and Emerging Contaminants Jessie Buckley and Lesliam Quiros-Alacala This TRG is led by Drs. Jessie Buckley (Associate Professor) and Lesliam Quiros-Alacala (Assistant Professor) and builds upon the expertise of C HARME D members to understand the human health effects of individual and mixtures of emerging contaminants (metals, persistent organic compounds, endocrine disruptors) on a variety of health outcomes. Center members are exploring the role of early life exposures to phthalates on childhood bone health and examining the impact of metals exposure on immune responses, obesity, autism, and cardiometabolic risk. Please join us the third Friday of the month at 2:30 pm on Zoom. Join Zoom Meeting: https://jh.zoom.us/j/98542110898?pwd=dEt6QmVVY01HTXVvZzIzeGZXNTQwdz09 Previous Next

< Back to TRGs List Community, Social, and Environmental Determinants of Health Chris Heaney and Ana Rule This TRG is led by Dr. Chris Heaney ( Associate Professor) and co-led by Dr. Ana Rule (Assistant Professor). The proposed  C HARME D  will serve as a nucleus to merge parallel efforts and utilize the expertise and services of the center to expand the scope of research on topics with important community implications. As one important example, fossil fuel production, processing, and use have been drivers of poor air quality and community and health impacts for centuries. As older technologies are phased out and new ones are considered and developed, it is paramount to understand the potential and ongoing impacts that these activities can have on exposures, communities, and population health. Multiple Center members have been involved in understanding emission, pollutant distribution, and the community, economic, and health impacts of existing (e.g., oil refineries) and new (e.g., UNGD) fossil fuel development, distribution, and use. Many translational bridges 20 have been successfully achieved by these investigations ( Figure ). Previous Next

Wolfe Street, Room E6634 Baltimore Maryland 21205 Mail gramach5@jhu.edu Globe https://publichealth.jhu.edu/faculty/3348/gurumurthy-ramachandran Gurumurthy Ramachandran, PhD Center Co-Director Dr. Gurumurthy “Ram” Ramachandran joined as Professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering in the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in 2016. He is the Director of the Johns Hopkins Education and Research Center for Occupational Safety and Health funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Starting in July 2019, he has also been appointed as Deputy Chair for the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering. He has conducted research in various areas relating to human exposure assessment in occupational, residential, and outdoor settings. His research has included the development of occupational exposure assessment strategies for airborne contaminants. He has conducted pioneering studies in occupational hygiene decision-making that synthesizes mathematical exposure models, monitoring data, and probabilistic expert judgment within a Bayesian framework. He has led or participated in multi-disciplinary teams engaged in numerous community and occupational exposure assessment and epidemiological studies in the US, India, and Canada, and Bangladesh. He collaborates with colleagues in International Health on epidemiological studies in Bangladesh relating to cookstove emissions, with toxicology colleagues on designing exposure chambers for animal studies, and colleagues in the SOM on lung dosimetry modeling. He is co-leading the Exposome Collaborative of the Johns Hopkins University.
