Dr. Bambarendage P. U. Perera (Pini) is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Her research focuses on the impact of environmental exposures on gene expression and long-term health through epigenetic mechanisms, particularly genomic imprinting and non-coding RNA. Dr. Perera earned her PhD in Biological Sciences from Louisiana State University and completed postdoctoral training at the University of Michigan. She has received numerous awards, including the EMGS Young Scientist Award, and leads NIH-funded projects on the epigenetic effects of lead exposure in utero. Dr. Perera is also dedicated to mentoring students and advancing the field of environmental health sciences through teaching and professional service.
