A CGH collaborative initiative, the Interdisciplinary Global Environmental Health Collaborations Conference was funded by the UChicago Delhi Center, EPIC-India and Manipal University. The conference brought together two dozen researchers, physician scientists, and government officials to discuss the health impacts of worsening air pollution and policy approaches to address the resulting challenges. Topics included: household air pollution, the nasal microbiome and immune function, prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes, economic perspectives on air pollution, and chronic non-communicable diseases in relation to environmental exposure and epigenetics.
