Marcia Pescador Jimenez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health. She obtained her PhD in Epidemiology from Brown University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, focusing on cardiovascular disease and environmental epidemiology. Her research portfolio explores the intersection of epidemiology and aging, with a particular interest in geographic contextual risk factors and racial/ethnic disparities. Notably, her early studies investigated the relationship between greenspace and hypertension among adults, extending this work to examine greenspace impacts on cognitive development in children. Currently, her research utilizes novel metrics of greenspace in urban environments through deep learning algorithms applied to Google Street View images. Marcia is a recipient of the K99/R00 Pathway Independence Award from the National Institute on Aging, aiming to quantify the role of the built environment on cognitive functioning and Alzheimer's disease risk, while also analyzing racial/ethnic disparities. This multifaceted approach to understanding environmental influences on health underscores her dedication to integrating spatial analysis into public health initiatives.
