OverviewAI-generated summary

Gail Runnells' research investigates the association between environmental exposures and health outcomes, with a particular focus on cancer risk and obesity among women in Southern states. Her work has explored the link between low-level environmental heavy metals and obesity in postmenopausal women, and carcinogenic air pollutants and breast cancer risk in rural Arkansas communities. Runnells has also studied the impact of cumulative arsenic exposure on individual arsenic levels and its association with genome-wide DNA methylation. Her research network includes collaborators at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, such as Shelbie Stahr and Lora J. Rogers, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Runnells' scholarship metrics include an h-index of 5 and 106 total citations.
