Erika Garcia, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. Her research focuses on the role of airborne environmental contaminants in the development of human disease. To better inform understanding of these relations, she applies both traditional epidemiologic as well as causal inference methodologies in her research. Her current research examines how early life exposure to ambient air pollution relates to pediatric respiratory health outcomes, including new-onset asthma, lung function, and fractional exhaled nitric oxide.
