Aisha S. Dickerson, PhD, MSPH

With a background in epidemiology and specific training in statistical methods and environmental risk assessment, much of my previous research has focused on modifiable risk factors for neurological disorders.  In the past, I have collaborated with investigators at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Environmental Health Protection Agency (EPA) to investigate exposure ambient air pollution and ASD in the US. I am currently a Research Fellow in Environmental Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where I work on several projects investigating early life exposures and risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis as well as environmental injustice and amplified risk of disease in underserved populations. Upon completing my PhD, I completed a year of postdoctoral training at the US EPA before returning to academia.
