Research Interests

Dr. Reif's current research interests are the health effects of water disinfection byproducts, electromagnetic fields and pesticides. Epidemiologic research is conducted in human populations, with a focus on applying biomarkers of exposure and effect. Case-control studies of various disease outcomes including cancer, adverse reproductive outcomes and neurological disorders are also of interest.
