Prof. Chen’s research has focused on environmental and occupational health, exposure measurement, air pollution, and health risk assessment, endocrine disruptor and health, worksite tobacco control, occupational safety, and health training and education. Her current research includes determining the health effect of prenatal exposure to several endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC), such as nonylphenols, phthalates, pesticides, and heavy metals. She has been working on various post-exposure health effects like the birth outcome, reproductive effect, ADHD, and exploring metabolomic fingerprints to understand the adverse outcome pathways after EDC exposure. Prof. Chen's current research also focuses on occupational health, promoting the competency of occupational health professionals in the workplace through training and education.
