SCEHSC/ShARP Seminar: Dr. Lidia Mínguez-Alarcón

Join us for November’s SCEHSC Seminar, where Dr. Lidia Mínguez-Alarcón will discuss health effects of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals in humans, with special focus on a) diet-chemical interactions, b) paternal contributions to pregnancy outcomes and c) chemical mixtures.

Dr. Mínguez-Alarcón is a Spanish epidemiologist with joint appointments both at the Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Assistant Professor of Medicine/Lead Investigator). Her research focuses on identifying chemical and non-chemical stressors of human fertility, reproductive and cardiometabolic health. Results from her work have been used by national and international agencies (e.g. European Food Safety Authority). Dr. Mínguez-Alarcón is the PI of the NIH funded Longitudinal Investigation of Health and Diseases after Infertility (LIHDI) Study, which is prospectively exploring chemical exposures during reproductive years in relation to long-term cardiovascular and metabolic health. She is also the PI of another NIH R01 that evaluates paternal pesticide exposure in relation to couple’s pregnancy outcomes and associations with sperm and leukocyte epigenome. She brings her expertise to the Science of the Total Environment (STOTEN) journal as an Associate Editor and the Reproductive, Perinatal and Pediatric Health (RPPH) NIH study section as a Grant Reviewer. Most of her teaching includes mentoring of individual students from Harvard TH Chan as well as residents and fellows at Harvard-affiliated hospitals.
