Shuai Xie, Ph.D., M.P.H., joined the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch (OEEB) as a postdoctoral fellow in September 2020, and was promoted to research fellow in 2023. Dr. Xie earned her Ph.D. in chemical and environmental engineering from Brown University in 2020.
Dec 13, 2021 · Dr. Shuai Xie Brings a New Perspective to Research on Environmental Exposures. “Engineering is about solving problems,” says IRP postdoctoral fellow Shuai Xie, Ph.D., M.P.H. Dr. Xie speaks from experience. One of the problems she was interested in solving during her graduate studies in chemical and environmental engineering was how to ...
May 4, 2023 · Dr. Shuai Xie, a postdoc at the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), spoke with NIH MedlinePlus Magazine about why pesticides in dust put both farmers and their families at risk. She explained how her work connects engineering and public health and what she loves most about her work at NCI.

[In my engineering Ph.D. program,] my research focused on measuring how indoor building materials adsorb pollutants (adsorption is when a substance gathers or accumulates on a surface) and release them. I studied trichloroethylene(a volatile liquid chemical that can cause kidney cancer). Trichloroethylene can be found in indoor and outdoor air and ...
People mostly think about farmers getting exposed to pesticides because they have a lot of direct contact [in their work]. But research also shows that the dust in their houses has higher pesticide levels than the dust in non-farming houses. This means that other people who live on the farm―their spouses, their children―may also have potential pest...
Generally, we found that the more a farmer uses a pesticide, the higher the concentrations of it are in their homes. Houses that are near fields treated with pesticides also have higher pesticide concentrations than ones that are farther away. We also found other activities that can be related to higher pesticide concentrations in homes. These incl...
First, I enjoy doing research at the intersection of engineering and public health. Engineering and public health are quite different disciplines, and the link isn’t always obvious. Working in exposure science makes me feel like I can apply what I’ve learned from both disciplines and bring them together. There are a lot of challenging questions in ...
In my Ph.D. program, I measured how much trichlorethylene could be adsorbed in different building materials. Even though they were only found at low levels, it makes me more cautious. I clean much more frequently than I used to. It makes me cautious about the chemicals that I choose to use in my home as they may stick to our furniture and building ...
NCI is a very supportive, interdisciplinary-friendly environment. There is a lot of collaboration across different groups―it is a great place for trainees to learn from many different perspectives. I’ve learned how to work with multiple collaborators on the same project. It’s not hierarchical—we call each other by our first names. At NCI, I get a l...
