Faculty Spotlight: Karen Dannemiller

Prof. Karen Dannemiller is an associate professor in the College of Public Health and College of Engineering. 

Her interdisciplinary research integrates engineering with microbiology and addresses emerging health challenges and environmental concerns using –omics approaches. Within the indoor environment, we are simultaneously exposed to thousands of chemicals and microorganisms which compose our indoor exposome, and these exposures are different from those of our ancestors.
