Professor Perttula's research has focused on environmental exposure assessment, toxicology, and molecular epidemiology. Her projects have centered on case-control samples from prospective cohorts extracted for lipophilic compounds and analyzed with high-resolution LCMS. She applies data-adaptive biostatistical methods to the resulting metabolomic data to discover environmental factors of disease. More recently, she has been studying the health effects of climate change. More specifically, she is interested in learning more about the barriers for local vulnerable communities to take protective adaptive measures.
