About

Dr. Julia Anglen Bauer’s research centers on addressing fundamental gaps in the understanding of how environmental exposures impact the nervous system across the life course in susceptible populations, including mothers and their infants, adolescents and workers in global and local settings. She aims to identify susceptibility factors that modify the association between chemical exposures and health, including race and ethnicity, exposure timing, co-exposure conditions and sex differences. Her work includes using environmental mixtures methods and novel biomarkers of exposure, such as deciduous “baby” teeth to estimate retrospective elemental exposures.
