Dr. Lein received her Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo and her MSEH from East Tennessee State University. She has previously held faculty appointments at Oregon Health and Science University and at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. Her areas of interest include cell and molecular mechanisms of developmental neurotoxicology, gene environment interactions that influence susceptibility to neurodevelopmental disorders, and the role of the autonomic nervous system in environmentally-induced asthma and cardiovascular disease.
Biomarkers start telling us a story: Autism pathophysiology revisited
Learn about emerging research on biomarkers and autism from a recent ARI Research Grant recipient. This is a joint presentation with the World Autism Organisation. The presentation by Dr.
New research points to alterations in BPA excretion pathway in children with autism, ADHD
Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may have a reduced ability to detoxify the chemical bisphenol A (BPA), according to new research. BPA is an industrial “plasticizer” used in plastic water bottles, food
Animal study adds to evidence of link between pyrethroids and autism
A new animal study adds to evidence that prenatal exposure to common insecticides called pyrethroids may increase the likelihood of a child developing autism or another neurodevelopmental disorder. Melissa Curtis and colleagues,
Gene-Environment Interactions in Autism: Research Updates
Valerie W. Hu, Ph.D., discusses gene-environmental interactions pertaining to autism. She describes how integrative genomics studies on autism led to investigating endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) as environmental risk factors for autism and presents
Fragile X and ASD
When associated with FXS, autism is caused by the genetic change or mutation in the Fragile X gene—the most common genetic cause of autism. Tune in to learn about
