Emmanuel Obeng-Gyasi obtained his PhD in Environmental Health from Indiana University Bloomington. Currently, he is an Associate Professor at the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. His research interests encompass investigating the effects of environmental agents on both the environment and populations using biostatistics/epidemiology, molecular biology, and analytical chemistry techniques. His primary focus is on the exposome, which represents the sum of all environmental exposures across an individual's life course. His research also extends to examining the intersection of environmental exposures with social factors. This exploration aims to achieve a better understanding of the complex interplay between stress arousal and environmental agents, ultimately shedding light on potential disparities in health outcomes among different social groups.
