  • Urinary Metabolomics in Tucson Structure Firefighters: Pre-, and Post-fire exposure:
    • aims: to characterize & compare metabolic profiles before and post fire exposure
    • data source: Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)
    • research question: Does fire exposure alter the metabolic profiles in firefighters?
    • contribution: led statistical analyses & drafted manuscript & publication
    • status: published
  • Urinary Metabolomics in Tucson Structure Firefighters: differential metabolome by Hispanic ethnicity:
    • aims: to characterize differential metabolome by Hispanic ethnicity, before and post structure fire exposure
    • data source: Fire Fighter Cancer Cohort Study(FFCCS)
    • research question: Is there a difference in the metabolic profiling between Hispanic and Non-Hispanic firefighters? Is the difference exacerbated by fire exposure?
    • contribution: led statistical analyses & drafted manuscript & publication
    • status: manuscript accepted

    • aims: to characterize & compare metabolic profiles before and post fire exposure among male WUI firefighters
    • data source: Fire Fighter Cancer Cohort Study(FFCCS)
    • research question:
      • Does WUI fire exposure alter the metabolic profiles in WUI firefighters?
      • explore potential health risks associated with the metabolic changes
