OverviewAI-generated summary
Maria D. Politis's research focuses on the impact of environmental exposures and lifestyle factors on human health, with a particular emphasis on maternal and child health. Her work investigates associations between prenatal metal exposures and kidney injury biomarkers in children, as well as the effects of ambient temperature and particulate matter on urinary kidney biomarkers. Politis has also examined the role of methyl donors and micronutrients in reducing the risk of neural tube defects and the relationship between maternal urinary tract infections and congenital heart defects.
Her research has also addressed public health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including its effects on supplement usage and self-medication in Arkansas, and the spatio-temporal reproduction numbers of SARS-CoV-2. Politis collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Emine Bircan and Jenil Patel. She has an h-index of 11, with 31 publications and 396 citations.
