Biography

Estela Blanco, PhD, is an environmental epidemiologist with an interest in climate change (air pollution and heat waves), maternal and child health, and the importance of the first 1000 days of life for well-being and health in the short and long term. Her most recent works focus on air pollution from woodburning in Southern Chile: how it can be estimated and how this long-term exposure is associated with health effects for the newborn. In addition, she has collaborated in longitudinal studies on nutritional deficiencies and cardiovascular risk, and HIV/AIDS prevention projects in the US and Mexico. Prior to her work at the Center for Research in Society and Health (CISS), Dr. Blanco worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile investigating the relationship between exposure to arsenic in drinking water and cancer risk in a highly exposed population in the Northern Chile.
