David Dodell-Feder, PhD - Assistant Professor, University of Rochester Department of Psychology and Neuroscience

EHSC Seminar Series Highlighted Topic:  Neurotoxicology and Air Pollution
Seminar narrative: Outcomes for individuals with a psychotic-spectrum disorder (PSD) are often poor, posing a profound burden to affected individuals and society. For that reason, increasing work has focused on better understanding potentially modifiable aspects of the environment that confer risk for PSDs. This research has uncovered a suite of social and physical/chemical factors related to the psychosis phenotype, though many open questions remain. In this talk, I will discuss several recently completed and ongoing studies in my lab to better understand some of these environmental risk factors and highlight areas for future research.

Marc Weisskopf, PhD, ScD - Professor, Harvard University

EHSC Seminar Series Highlighted Topic: Neurotoxicology
Seminar Narrative: Accumulating evidence suggests an association between perinatal air pollution exposure and autism spectrum disorders in offspring. Nonetheless, important questions remain and important epidemiologic methods issues complicate the assessment of this question. I will show some of our own work demonstrating some of these issues, and describe a novel method to assess some of the key aspects of bias that can arise.
