Research Profile
Dr. Malin’s research program focuses on examining impacts of environmental toxicants and nutrition on health outcomes. She is particularly interested in potential effects of fluoride and aluminum exposure on neurobehavioral and neuroendocrinological functioning. She has published a breath of studies on impacts of fluoride exposure on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD) symptoms and diagnosis, sleep behaviors, thyroid gland activity, kidney and liver function, and women’s reproductive health. She currently has an active R00 research grant from NIH/NIEHS to examine early life fluoride exposure in relation to neurodevelopment and sleep patterns among children in the United States and Canada respectively. Lastly, Dr. Malin is also interested in health disparities in relation to environmental toxicant exposures.
