Dr. Gaydosh's research investigates the life course determinants of population health disparities from a biosocial perspective.

Dr. Gaydosh's primary research focuses on better understanding the role of early life environments in shaping health across the life course. This work integrates social, contextual, and biological data from population-based longitudinal studies to examine how inequalities in the social environment get under the skin to create health disparities.
