UC Davis’ MARBLES study follows mothers with at least one child with #autism #ASD before, during and after their pregnancy. Learn more below #ProtectKidsHealth

@Columbia’s research studies have found connections between environmental exposures and negative impacts on health such as lower birth weight, obesity, ADHD, and lower IQ. #ProtectKidsHealth

Large research studies @Columbia are examining the impact of prenatal and postnatal exposure to #airpollution, BPA, phthalates, flame retardants, and pesticides on childhood health and development. #ProtectKidsHealth

The #epigenome is made up of chemical compounds that can tell genes when to turn on or off. @UMICH Children’s Center is a leader in the field of #epigenetics #ProtectKidsHealth

Researchers at Cincinnati @UC used archived samples to examine the effects of exposures to chemicals such as PBDEs - chemicals potentially harmful to children’s health. #protectkidshealth.

Researchers at Columbia University @cccehcolumbia found that mice exposed prenatally to high levels of PAH was associated with weight gain and greater fat mass.. #protectkidshealth

To understand children’s #environmentalhealth, @NIEHS Children’s Center researchers use novel approaches to understand the biology of diseases, including -omincs #genomics #epigenomics #metabolomics #ProtectKidsHealth

Understanding the relationship between exposures and asthma severity at the personal level is critical for managing asthma symptoms and for developing effective interventions and therapies. #ProtectKidsHealth

11 Children’s Center’s publications were cited by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology @ACOG and the American Society of Reproductive Medicine as evidence thatenvironmental #chemicals can adversely impact reproduction #protectkidshealth.

More than 200,000 samples such as baby teeth, placenta, breast milk and stool, are available in the UC Davis Children’s Center @UCDavisCCEHbiorespository for future collaborators to utilize. #protectkidshealth

By using the novel research approaches such as #metabolomics & #adductomics @UCBCIRCLE has discovered new risk factors for childhood #leukemia. #ProtectKidsHealth

@UMCEHC public health researchers have collaborated with a medical anthropologist to make their research materials and practices more culturally relevant to people who take part in their research studies. #ProtectKidsHealth
