Environmental Health Perspectives’ Ashley Ahearn, host of The Researcher’s Perspective, interviews Deborah Cory-Slechta, professor of environmental medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, about the phenomenon known as the fetal basis of adult disease. New lines of research are now showing that prenatal exposures to certain chemicals may contribute to health problems that typically arise later in life—such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and Parkinson disease.
