OverviewAI-generated summary

Eryn K. Matich's research focuses on the intersection of environmental exposures, diet, and health outcomes, particularly concerning colorectal cancer and disparities among specific populations. Her work has investigated the association between pesticide exposure and colorectal cancer risk, employing systematic review methods to synthesize existing evidence. Matich has also examined the geospatial distribution of pesticide concentrations in ambient air and its correlation with colorectal cancer incidence in Arkansas. Further research includes exploring the impact of dietary factors, such as choline and B-vitamin intake, on colorectal cancer risk. Her scholarship extends to understanding health disparities among African Americans, with publications addressing diet, food security, and cancer-based health disparities, as well as risk factors for undiagnosed diabetes and hypertension. Matich has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Ping-Ching Hsu and Jonathan Laryea, on multiple publications.
