Lindsay Fernández-Rhodes

Lindsay Fernández-Rhodes is a trained epidemiologist with experience in the areas of Genetic, Epigenetic, and Social Epidemiology. Her interdisciplinary research seeks to 1) elucidate the complex etiology of chronic diseases, and 2) identify key drivers of health disparities in the United States, both across the life course and across generations. To this aim, she conducts bio-psychosocially integrated studies of reproductive and cardiovascular traits in under-studied and marginalized populations, such as United States Hispanic/Latino immigrants and their families. She has used a variety of traditional and family-based methods to describe the intergenerational patterning of genetic, epigenetic and psychosocial risk factors and their joint impact on health across the life course.
