Birgit Claus Henn is an Associate Professor at Boston University School of Public Health, specializing in environmental epidemiology. She employs advanced statistical methods to study how environmental exposures impact maternal and child health. Her research examines the effects of chemical mixtures on child development, particularly neurodevelopment. Dr. Henn has explored the associations between metals, pesticides, and endocrine disruptors across various pediatric cohorts globally, encompassing critical developmental phases from prenatal periods to adolescence. A significant part of her work involves estimating health impacts of these environmental mixtures and understanding how nutritional and social factors may modify or mediate chemical toxicity. As a principal investigator for the NIEHS K99/R00 Career Development Award, she utilizes innovative statistical techniques to analyze metal mixtures' effects on neurodevelopment. Dr. Henn is also deeply involved in training the next generation of researchers, directing a PhD program in Environmental Health at BU.
