Biography

Dr. Hall is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Epidemiology at Brown University School of Public Health working with Dr. Joseph Braun. She completed her MPH in Epidemiology at East Tennessee State University and her PhD in Epidemiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Before working at Brown, she worked as a Biostatistician at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Dr. Hall has a strong interest in understanding the impact of prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals and toxic metals on cognitive, behavioral, and cardiometabolic outcomes during childhood and adolescence. Her research utilizes prospective cohort studies such as MIREC and HOME that contain prenatal maternal biospecimens and follow-up on children through childhood or adolescence. Dr. Hall’s research applies mixture-based approaches to understand exposure in the context of mixtures, mainly in relation to joint effects and synergistic interactions. Additionally, Dr. Hall also uses untargeted metabolomics to gain insight into the biological pathways between exposures and outcomes.
