Overview
Dr. Baccarelli's work has supported international best practices for air pollution control developed by multiple agencies worldwide, and his findings have served as the basis for the Environmental Protection Agency's decision to enforce stricter guidelines for human exposure. His research investigates molecular mechanisms as pathways linking environmental exposures to human disease.
Dr. Baccarelli was elected to the National Academy of Medicine for his pioneering work showing that environmental exposures adversely affect the human epigenome and has been included in the Web of Science list of highly cited, world's most influential scientists of the past decade.
