Anne Bozack, MPH, PhD

I am a molecular and environmental epidemiologist, and my research focuses on epigenetic mechanisms and biomarkers linking environmental exposures to health. I investigate changes in DNA methylation and epigenetic aging associated with metals, nutrition, and other chemical and non-chemical exposures throughout the life course. I collaborate with birth and adult cohort studies across the U.S. and internationally. My work utilizes computational methods for high-dimensional omics data, drawing from the fields of biostatistics and data science.

A focus of my current research is exposure to arsenic, a human carcinogen and toxicant. I am investigating how gene regulatory factors, including DNA methylation, are associated with arsenic metabolism, a pathway involved in arsenic excretion and disease risk. Other recent studies have aimed to understand the relationship between epigenetics and other omics layers, including the genome and microbiome.

I have experience working in diverse areas of public health research, such as the investigation of social factors impacting health and the evaluation of healthcare delivery and community-based interventions. Prior to joining NYU Grossman, I completed postdoctoral training at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Stanford School of Medicine.
