Leah Wetherill conducts medical research focused on the health effects of alcohol, including how alcohol exposure before birth (fetal alcohol spectrum disorders) affects development and behavior. Much of the work draws on genetics and epidemiology to understand risk factors for substance use, behavioral disorders, and related health outcomes. Projects range from developing screening tools to studying genetic variants linked to disease.
