Elvira S. Fleury Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Elvira S. Fleury, a faculty member at John Brown University, investigates the impact of environmental factors on human health, with a particular emphasis on early development. Her research encompasses the effects and risks of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), on birth outcomes and long-term health trajectories. Fleury's work also addresses gestational diabetes research and management. Recent studies have explored associations between prenatal PFAS exposure and the cord serum metabolome, as well as links between phthalate and bisphenol A concentrations and autistic behaviors in offspring. Additionally, she examines the impact of atmospheric chemistry and aerosols on human physiology, including a study on fine particulate matter's effect on marathon performance. Her research also includes evaluating the relationship between PFAS exposure and adolescent cardiometabolic risk factors, and the neonatal cord serum metabolome and adolescent cardiometabolic risk factors.

Her primary research focus lies in understanding how environmental exposures during critical developmental windows influence later-life health outcomes.
