Usha Ramakrishnan

Based at Emory University, Usha Ramakrishnan focuses their scholarly efforts on child nutrition, household air pollution, maternal health, iron metabolism, food insecurity, environmental health, global health interventions, birth outcomes, bridging the gap between theory and practice in child nutrition. A representative example of their recent contribution is the study titled "Biological and pathological mechanisms leading to the birth of a small vulnerable newborn", which offers critical insights into the dynamics of child nutrition and household air pollution. Additional work such as "Exposure–response relationships for personal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2·5), carbon monoxide, and black carbon and birthweight: an observational analysis of the multicountry Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) trial" further demonstrates their commitment to advancing knowledge in this domain.
