The Wahlang Lab studies how environmental pollutants impact our overall metabolic health. These pollutants include persistent organic chemicals often found in our food and drinking water. Specifically, we focus on understanding the sex-specific mechanisms that drive metabolic disease outcomes with chemical exposures and investigating nutritional intervention strategies to combat the harmful effects of environmental toxicants. Key research areas include the following:

• Sex and Gender in Environmental Toxicology
• Women’s Health Research
• Volatile Organic Compounds and Liver Injury
•  Persistent Organic Pollutants as Metabolic and Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals
• Multi-organ Toxicity including the Endocrine-Gut-Liver axis and Adipose-Liver Axis
• Environmental Health Disparities
• Military Exposures and Health Outcomes
