Bethany Knox
Bethany Knox is a pre-doctoral student studying environmental epidemiology and the chemical pregnancy exposome at ISGlobal in Barcelona. Her predoctoral studies investigate the effects of various chemical exposures and microplastics on fetal and infant growth and development and placental function. She aims to quantify the effects of these chemical mixtures with a focus on fetal …
Amanda Durkin
Amanda Durkin is a PhD candidate in environmental epidemiology at the University Medical Center Utrecht. She currently contributes to epidemiological investigations and risk assessment of microplastics in maternal and fetal exposures. She obtained her BSc in Environmental Health from the University of Washington, Seattle and her MSc in Health Sciences from the Vrije Universitiet, Amsterdam. …

Douglas Walker
Douglas Walker, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. Through the application of high-resolution mass spectrometry platforms, Dr. Walker’s research has shown it is possible to provide measures of up to 100,000 chemical signals in a cost-effective manner using a single human blood sample, providing a key …
Payam Dadvand
Payam Dadvand is a medical doctor by training and has a PhD in environmental epidemiology. For the last decade he has conducted pioneering studies on the impacts of both environmental stressors (e.g. air pollution) and environmental mitigation measures (e.g. green spaces) on maternal and child health applying his expertise in using remote sensing data, GIS-based …
