Dr. Shakira Franco Suglia is a research fellow in the Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health. Her research focus is multidisciplinary as she examines the effects of social and environmental factors on children's psychological and physical health. She was recently awarded a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to explore how social factors, both negative (i.e. housing dilapidation, economic hardship, parental stress) and positive (i.e., social support, mother-child activities), may modify the impact of psychological stressors on children's health. In 2007 she received a Minority Trainee Award by the American Thoracic Society and is currently a mentor for undergraduate and graduate students for the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos, Latinos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS).
