Karen C. Dannemiller studies indoor mold, dust, and other microbial contaminants in buildings, and how they relate to respiratory health problems like asthma, especially in children living in urban housing. Her work combines building science, microbiology, and chemistry to measure fungal growth, mold-related odors and volatile organic compounds (chemicals released into the air) in homes, and to link these exposures to allergy and asthma outcomes. A prospective student would likely work on some mix of lab experiments with dust or building materials, field sampling in homes, and epidemiological analysis connecting indoor exposures to health data.
