Jabeen Taiba, PhD, MPH
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Jabeen Taiba, PhD, is a postdoctoral research associate in the Water, Climate and Health Program. Dr. Taiba is formally trained as a multidisciplinary researcher and an epidemiologist and has prior experience in clinical research, public health practice settings and using large datasets. Her research interests include understanding the impact of environmental exposures on the genome to protect human health. Her current research is primarily focused on understanding the effects of environmental mixtures on human health, specifically exploring relationships between pesticide mixtures and pediatric cancer, congenital anomalies and other health outcomes. Through this work, Dr. Taiba aspires to contribute new evidence that can be translated into human disease prevention and strengthen science in public policy.
