About
Neeta Thakur, MD is an Associate Professor at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and a physician-scientist who specializes in pulmonary and critical care medicine. Her research program focuses on the short- and long-term health effects of multilevel stressors, with emphasis on historically marginalized populations. She has linked multiple data types (biologic, individual, and environmental) to demonstrate that environmental and social risk factors are geo-spatially distributed, disproportionately burden communities of color, and are associated with clinically relevant health outcomes. Dr. Thakur is the co-principal investigator of the Pediatric ACES and Resilience Study, a longitudinal cohort study that examined the negative biological and health effects of ACEs, and she is a co-developer of the PEARLS screening tool.
