Biography

Dr. Peters’ research focuses on the effects of environmental pollutants on cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment in older adults, and respiratory disease in children. A unique component of her work explores the complex interactions between physical environmental factors and social determinants of health. She has evaluated the interactive effects of lead exposure and psychosocial factors on incident hypertension and cognition in older adult males. Currently, Dr. Peters is leading research efforts funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Federal Aviation Administration to evaluate the long-term health impacts of noise exposure. Specifically, her studies aim to expand the understanding of the relationship between aircraft noise exposure and cardiovascular disease, linking noise exposure data from multiple airports over several years with metrics from existing longitudinal health cohorts, providing detailed individual data with high geographic and temporal resolution.
