Dr. Sean Harris is a Research Assistant Professor of Environmental Health Sciences in the School of Public Health. His research aims to advance our understanding of how environmental toxicants contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth and preeclampsia. Dr. Harris’s research uses a combination of approaches including transcriptomics, metabolomics, primary tissue models and computational/data mining methods to investigate molecular mechanisms of toxicant effects on the placenta and fetal membranes. Dr. Harris also investigates extracellular vesicles as a source for circulating biomarkers of toxicant effects on the placenta. Follow Dr. Harris on Twitter and check out his LinkedIn page.
