Dr. James-Todd is the Mark and Catherine Winkler Associate Professor of Environmental Reproductive Epidemiology and Environmental Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Her research takes a three-way approach to studying and improving women's reproductive and long-term health by:
- evaluating the role of environmental chemicals on adverse maternal health outcomes;
- assessing racial/ethnic disparities in environmental chemical exposures and adverse health outcomes;
- developing pregnancy and postpartum interventions to improve women's chronic disease risk.
About the Sowers Memorial Lecture: this special lecture honors MaryFran Sower’s extraordinary scientific contributions to the field of women’s health and to inspire young scholars to transcend the boundaries between varying fields of research to advance women’s health. As a result of her contributions, women’s health grew from a peripheral field of study to a major discipline and we honor her legacy by inviting a groundbreaking researcher to present a lecture in her name.
