Dr. Lin's research focuses on the role of the exposome in the biological embedding of childhood adversity wherein she conducts large-scale impact evaluations of interventions that promote health and environmental justice in low-resource settings.
Audrie Lin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biobehavioral Health at Pennsylvania State University. She is co-funded by the Institutes of Energy and the Environment. Dr. Lin conducts evidence-based and policy-relevant research to advance programs that promote nutrition and environmental justice in low-resource settings. Using a Developmental Origins of Health and Disease framework, Dr. Lin’s research focuses on the role of the exposome in the biological embedding of childhood adversity. Major areas of her research include early childhood nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions, environmental enteric dysfunction, infectious diseases, stress physiology, immune function, telomere biology, child growth and development, and gender-based violence. She uses large-scale impact evaluations and other empirical approaches to understand biological pathways leading to healthy trajectories across the life course. Dr. Lin conducts research in Bangladesh, Kenya, Indonesia, and Fiji.
