OverviewAI-generated summary
Kari A. Weber is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Her research program focuses on environmental exposures and their association with adverse reproductive and developmental outcomes. She has investigated the relationship between greenspace, air pollution, and neighborhood factors with conditions such as preeclampsia and birth defects. Weber's work also examines exposure assessment metrics for compounds like trihalomethanes in epidemiologic studies. She has explored factors associated with infant sex and preterm birth status for specific birth defects, and has studied gender gaps in physical activity among children. Her scholarly contributions are reflected in an h-index of 11 and over 270 citations across 35 publications. Weber collaborates with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
