Chapter News
The Georgia Chapter is very excited to announce 2 winners of our annual scholarship. Each winner receives $1,000.
 | Duan Wang from Emory University I am a first-year PhD student in Environmental Health Sciences at Emory University, where I study the health effects of air pollution and environmental chemical exposures. My research focuses on how these exposures contribute to the onset and progression of chronic diseases. I am particularly interested in leveraging multi-omics approaches to uncover the biological mechanisms linking environmental exposures to adverse health outcomes and to advance our understanding of disease etiology at the systems level. |
| Oluwatosin Jegede Pearl from Georgia Southern University My name is Oluwatosin Jegede. I am from Nigeria. I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Environmental Science at Georgia Southern University. My research examines how everyday environmental conditions influence mold growth, spore production, microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs), and mycotoxin levels in the places people live. Guided by my interest in how the environment shapes health, I compare exposures across cities, focusing on how climate, housing, and geography affect fungal contamination and potential health risks. This study aims to offer insights that can improve indoor air quality, protect public health, and reduce the avoidable health burdens linked to mold exposure. |
