OverviewAI-generated summary

Emine Bircan's research investigates health disparities and the impact of environmental and genetic factors on disease prevalence. Her work includes an examination of electronic cigarette use and its association with respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD among individuals who have never smoked. Bircan has also studied the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on supplement usage and self-medication practices within Arkansas, as well as gender and racial disparities in COVID-19 symptomatology and outcomes among adults in the state.

Further contributing to the understanding of congenital conditions, her research has explored the prevalence and clustering of congenital heart defects in boys with hypospadias. She has also investigated the role of paternal genetic variants in the risk of obstructive heart defects, employing a parent-of-origin approach. Bircan collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Mohammed S. Orloff, Wendy Nembhard, Jenil Patel, and Keyur Vyas, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
