Jacquelyn Taylor, Ph.D., RN, PNP-BC, FAHA, FAAN, will discuss steps she has taken in her research career using genomic and environmental methods to unravel hypertension health disparities in African American women. Dr. Taylor’s current work exams the gene-environment and DNAm-environment interactions of perceived racism and discrimination, parenting stress, and maternal mental health on blood pressure on African American mothers and their young children. Dr. Taylor will also share reflections about her recent study on the genomics of lead poisoning in Flint, MI. She was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) by President Barack Obama, the highest honor awarded by the federal government to scientists and engineers, where she examines next-generation sequencing-environment interactions on blood pressure among African Americans. Her long-term goals are to develop nursing interventions to reduce and prevent -omic-environment risks that contribute to health disparities for common chronic conditions among underrepresented minority populations across the lifespan in the United States and vulnerable populations abroad. Dr. Taylor is the inaugural Vernice D. Ferguson Professor in Health Equity at New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing.

Sponsored by: University of Michigan Schools of Nursing (Ann Arbor & Flint), Dentistry, Kinesiology, Public Health and Social Work, College of Pharmacy, Michigan Medicine, Office of Health Equity (OHEI), and MICHR

We know that mental health concerns are only increasing amongst college students around the country, with many students at UM experiencing anxiety, depression or other mental health challenges on a daily basis. Yet, mental health is so often an unspoken part of the study abroad experience. The Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS) student ambassadors are leading this presentation/panel discussion event in hopes to increase pre-departure awareness of this important topic.

This panel is geared toward our students going abroad or thinking about going abroad. We will have resources on how to navigate yourself abroad and will also be featuring a returnee panel who will be sharing their experiences from around the world.

Snacks will be provided!
