Dr. Roheeni Saxena studies the effects of environmental exposures on child and adolescent developing brains.
As an interdisciplinary public health researcher who focuses on child and adolescent cognitive neurotoxicology, Roheeni's post-doctoral training was supported by Columbia's Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, where she examined associations between novel biomarkers of central nervous system exposures and neurocognitive outcomes.
Previously, Roheeni's predoctoral work was supported by a Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Award (F31), and her doctoral research project examined the relationships between micronutrient deficiency, environmental arsenic exposure, environmental metals exposures, and cognitive function in teenagers living in low and middle income countries.
She is committed to using her public heath research to help systematically marginalized and disadvantaged populations.
