She will describe studies nested within two pre-birth cohorts: the Boston-based Project Viva cohort and the New Hampshire Birth Cohort Study. The studies examine the impact of exposure to air pollution from outdoor sources (ie\, traffic) and indoor sources (i.e.\, wood stoves) on maternal and child cardiometabolic health.\n \nAbout the Speaker:  Abby Fleisch\, MD\, MPH\, is an environmental health researcher at CORE and a pediatric endocrinologist at Maine Medical Center.

She received the Academic Pediatric Association Michael Shannon Research Award in 2012 and an Endocrine Society Early Career Investigator Award in 2016. \nDr. Fleisch is a peer mentor for the Harvard Medical School-Harvard Catalyst Grant Review and Support Program and an affiliated faculty member and advisor to the New England Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit.
