ZSFG Haber Visiting Professor

Tracing the Health Effects of Incarceration: From Systems to Cells

Incarceration leaves lasting effects on health. This Grand Rounds will explore incarceration as a social determinant of health and review emerging evidence on biological and epigenetic pathways linking chronic stress to long-term health outcomes. It will also discuss how clinicians, health systems, and researchers can address these effects from structural to cellular levels.

Speaker:

Emily Wang, MD, MAS, is a professor at the Yale School of Medicine and director of the SEICHE Center for Health and Justice, a Yale Medicine–Law collaboration addressing the health impacts of mass incarceration. She is a MacArthur Fellow, a primary care physician, and co-founder of the Transitions Clinic Network. Her NIH-funded research examines how incarceration influences chronic disease.
