Research Interests: Environmental, aging, and genetic epidemiology. In particular, she has focused on the health effects of environmental exposures, including pesticides and air pollution, on neurodegenerative disorders.

Current Projects: Dr. Paul is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar, after receiving her PhD in Epidemiology from UCLA in 2016. Her research interests lie in the field of environmental, aging, and genetic epidemiology. In particular, she has focused on the health effects of environmental exposures, including pesticides and air pollution, on neurodegenerative disorders. She is currently working on integrating environmental exposures and multiple genetic/epigenetic network profiles – genetic markers, DNA methylation, metabolome – with Parkinson’s disease phenotypes. Dr. Paul recently received the NIH/NIEHS Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service F32 Award to the study endocrine disruption chemical exposure and the overlap between metabolic disorders and neurodegeneration.
