OverviewAI-generated summary
Gail Runnells' research program investigates environmental exposures and their association with health outcomes, particularly cancer and metabolic disorders. Her work examines the impact of low-level environmental heavy metals on obesity among postmenopausal women and explores the link between carcinogenic air pollutants and breast cancer risk within the Arkansas Rural Community Health Study (ARCH). Runnells has also studied cumulative arsenic exposure, its relation to individual arsenic levels in saliva, and its association with the genome-wide DNA methylation landscape. Her publications also address early-onset breast cancer in relation to geospatial indicators of exposure and the connection between heavy metal toxicity and mammographic breast density. She has collaborated with researchers including Shelbie Stahr, Lora J. Rogers, Tung-Chin Chiang, and P. C. Hsu at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she shares multiple publications.
