Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Gene

Frederica P. Perera mostly deals with Pregnancy, Environmental health, Environmental exposure, Birth weight and Cohort. Her Pregnancy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Chlorpyrifos, Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Tobacco smoke, Cohort study and Pediatrics. The Environmental health study which covers Air pollution that intersects with Fossil fuel combustion, Pah exposure and Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.

Her Environmental exposure research includes elements of Wheeze, Asthma, Immunology and Carcinogen, Benzopyrene. Frederica P. Perera combines subjects such as Body mass index, Obesity, Gestational age, Transplacental and Toxicology with her study of Birth weight. Her studies deal with areas such as Fetal growth, Psychiatry and Physiology as well as Cohort.

Her most cited work include:

  • The Lancet Commission on pollution and health (1476 citations)
  • Environment and Cancer: Who Are Susceptible? (563 citations)
  • PRENATAL EXPOSURE TO PBDES AND NEURODEVELOPMENT (548 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Frederica P. Perera spends much of her time researching Pregnancy, Environmental health, Environmental exposure, Cohort and Cohort study. Her Pregnancy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Prospective cohort study, Tobacco smoke, Pediatrics and Physiology. Her Physiology research incorporates elements of Genetics, Cord blood, Carcinogen, Toxicology and Fetus.

Her Environmental health study which covers Air pollution that intersects with Environmental chemistry. Her study connects Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and Environmental exposure. Her Birth weight course of study focuses on Gestational age and Gestation.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Pregnancy (27.50%)
  • Environmental health (26.14%)
  • Environmental exposure (18.86%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Pregnancy (27.50%)
  • Environmental health (26.14%)
  • Cord blood (9.77%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Pregnancy, Environmental health, Cord blood, Cohort and Environmental exposure. Her research integrates issues of Obesity, Cohort study, Demography, Prospective cohort study and Physiology in her study of Pregnancy. Her work deals with themes such as Environmental chemistry and Gestation, which intersect with Prospective cohort study.

Her Environmental health research also works with subjects such as

  • Air pollution which is related to area like Particulates and Climate change,
  • Child development which intersects with area such as Child Behavior Checklist. Her Cord blood research integrates issues from Umbilical cord, Endocrinology and Birth cohort. In her study, she carries out multidisciplinary Environmental exposure and Child health research.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The Lancet Commission on pollution and health (1476 citations)
  • Prenatal exposure to antibiotics, cesarean section and risk of childhood obesity (281 citations)
  • DNA methylation of BDNF as a biomarker of early-life adversity (241 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Gene

Frederica P. Perera mainly investigates Pregnancy, Environmental health, Environmental exposure, Cohort and Cohort study. Her Pregnancy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Obesity, Toxicology, Obstetrics, Prospective cohort study and Pediatrics. Her studies in Toxicology integrate themes in fields like Pesticide, Prenatal exposure and Birth cohort.

The various areas that Frederica P. Perera examines in her Environmental health study include Pathology, Stressor, Child development, International agency and Early childhood. Her Environmental exposure study incorporates themes from Endocrinology, Epigenetics, Internal medicine and Public health. She interconnects Air pollution and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in the investigation of issues within Cohort study.
