A new NIH-funded study led by Gail Li and Leanne Sheppard (Environmental Health) provides an extraordinary opportunity to develop comprehensive new insights into the effects of air pollution on the aging brain using state-of-the-art exposure science and neuropathological biomarkers.

The proposal got a “perfect score” from the NIH study review section, meaning that every single reviewer gave it the highest score. Read more
