Michael Leung

I am a Doctoral (Epidemiology) and Masters (Biostatistics) candidate at Harvard TH Chan. My work primarily focuses on environmental and social factors experienced throughout the lifecourse, from in utero to adulthood, and how they influence health and disease. Some examples of my work include how exposures during pregnancy (eg, air pollution, vitamin D, police violence) influence pregnancy and child outcomes (eg, pregnancy loss, fetal growth); how early life growth affects mid-childhood outcomes (e.g., cognitive achievement); and in adult populations, how light at night and circadian disruption relates to cardiometabolic conditions and breast cancer. I am especially interested in causal inference as it relates to my work, where discussions about DAGs or g-methods are always welcome!
