Zakir Hossin
Postdoctoral Fellow
My broad scientific interests include fetal/developmental origins of disease and social determinants of heath, with a particular focus on intergenerational transmission of disease risks. The overaching goal is to enhance knowledge about how parental socioeconomic and health disadvantages before childbirth influence health and developmental outcomes in children during childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, and across the life course. My postdoctoral project aims to investigate the role of maternal chronic diseases in the fetal origins of long-term offspring health outcomes. I have recently been awarded a Forte grant to support a Sweden-Canada research collaboration focused on understanding how the children born to mothers with cadiovascuar disease are doing developmentally. The project utilizes nationwide register-based data from Sweden and province-wide register and survey data from British Columbia, Canada.
