About Me
Dr. Rommel's work as an epidemiologist focuses on the exposome and its link to the development of adverse health outcomes, including suboptimal pregnancy and birth outcomes, as well as psychopathology. She is particularly interested in reproductive events, including pregnancy and menopause. She has been instrumental in setting up two separate birth cohorts, and has conducted analyses in several existing birth cohorts to study the outcomes of early life exposure to, for example, maternal mental illness, medication, inflammation and COVID-19 infection. In addition, she applies cognitive-neurophysiological designs to study risk and protective factors for psychopathology, and the biological mechanisms underlying it.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
