Overview
Presently, Dr. Sneh serves as Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in MA, USA. Her current research is centered around identifying functional DNA repair biomarkers in non-small lung cancer patients. The goal is to predict disease risk and develop personalized treatment plans based on each patient's sensitivity to radiation and other DNA-damaging agents. Additionally, she serves as a Principal Investigator, focusing on assessing genomic instability caused by occupational exposures in firefighters.
Dr. Sneh is also an Affiliated Research Scientist at SHINE, Harvard, where she collaborates on the Flight Attendant Health study. The objective is to investigate whether compromised genomic integrity resulting from air travel exposures contributes to the elevated health risks observed in flight crews. Furthermore, she holds the role of Affiliated Radiation Oncology collaborator at Brigham Women's Hospital, aiming to comprehend the effects of low-dose radiation on human health within medical settings.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
