Professor Perttula began as a lecturer at CSUEB and has been with the CSUEB Health Sciences/Public Health Department since Spring 2020. She has also lectured chemistry in CSUEB's Chemistry Department. She thoroughly enjoys teaching the diverse and vibrant student community at CSUEB. She has lived in the Bay Area all of her adult life. After college, she worked 10 years as a forensic scientist, mostly for San Mateo County, but pivoted to a career in academia and public health after starting a family. In her spare time, she plots ways to make her kids eat more vegetables.
Professor Perttula's research has focused on environmental exposure assessment, environmental toxicology, and molecular epidemiology. Her projects have centered on case-control samples from prospective cohorts that are extracted for lipophilic compounds and analyzed with high-resolution LCMS. She applies data-adaptive biostatistical methods to the resulting metabolomic data to discover environmental factors of disease.
