Research summary
AI-generated

Min-Ae Song's research examines how environmental and behavioral exposures—such as tobacco and e-cigarette use—affect health at a molecular level, particularly through DNA methylation (a chemical modification that can turn genes on or off without changing the DNA sequence itself). Her work spans epigenetics, lung and cardiovascular disease, and studies of health disparities across different racial and ethnic groups, often using population-level and 'exposome' approaches that look at combined environmental, social, and biological factors influencing disease.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a peak in 2018, a dip around 2021-2022, and a partial rebound in 2023 and 2025, suggesting variable but ongoing research activity rather than a steady or clearly growing trend.
