Dr. Brisa N Sanchez's lab focuses on understanding how nutrition interventions and food environments impact children's health and academic performance, particularly in underrepresented populations. By examining large-scale studies, the lab seeks to identify effective strategies to reduce health disparities related to obesity and education among children. The research aims to inform public health policies and practices that promote healthier lifestyles for children.

Dr. Anneclaire J De Roos's research lab focuses on understanding how extreme weather events, like heatwaves and heavy rainfall, impact children's health. The lab investigates both immediate health effects, such as respiratory issues and injuries, and long-term health problems caused by repeated exposure to extreme weather. They aim to gather data and provide insights that will inform policies to protect vulnerable communities and promote health equity.
