Overview

Andrea Baccarelli is affiliated with Columbia University in the United States and has a substantial body of research spanning medicine, environmental science, and molecular biology. Their work primarily concentrates on the intersections of health and the environment, with particular attention to how environmental exposures affect human biology and disease processes.

The main fields of study associated with their research are Medicine, Environmental Science, and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Within these, the key subfields include Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, Molecular Biology, Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, Pollution, and Genetics.

Baccarelli's research topics frequently address areas such as Epigenetics and DNA Methylation, Birth, Development, and Health, Air Quality and Health Impacts, Health, Environment, Cognitive Aging, Climate Change and Health Impacts, Energy and Environment Impacts, and Heavy Metal Exposure and Toxicity.

Some of the recent papers they are associated with are:

  • Outdoor air pollution and cancer: An overview of the current evidence and public health recommendations (2020, CA A Cancer Journal for Clinicians)
  • Quantification of the pace of biological aging in humans through a blood test, the DunedinPoAm DNA methylation algorithm (2020, eLife)
  • Hallmarks of environmental insults (2021, Cell)
  • Molecular mechanisms of environmental exposures and human disease (2023, Nature Reviews Genetics)
  • Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of blood DNA methylation in newborns and children identifies numerous loci related to gestational age (2020, Genome Medicine)

Baccarelli has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Robert O. Wright, Haotian Wu, Eric A. Whitsel, Lifang Hou, and Elena Colicino.

Their publications appear regularly in venues such as ISEE Conference Abstracts, UNC Libraries, Environmental Research, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and Environment International.

In 2020, Andrea Baccarelli was inducted as a Member of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM).
