  • Christy Porucznik: Systematic Collection of Biospecimens in the Periconceptional Period

    Christy Porucznik: Systematic Collection of Biospecimens in the Periconceptional Period ECHO Discovery Summary Traditional studies investigating environmental exposures during pregnancy often recruit women during their first trimester, and as a result these studies exclude data from around the time of conception and create an incomplete and biased understanding of the exposure’s effect. Environmental exposures experienced […]
