Research Interests:
We are investigating the use of genomic methods in environmental assessment and ecotoxicology. The long term goal of this research is to combine traditional approaches to water quality assessment with a genomic approach and develop genomic biomarkers of exposure to toxic compounds. Our goals are to predict the presence of specific toxic chemicals in the environment, enable prediction of the potential toxicity of a new chemical, enable us to detect the presence of toxicants in mixtures and predict the chronic toxicity of chemicals based on an acute exposure.

Submitted by cmjones on February 23, 2007 - 2:40pm.Name of Research Center:
Berkeley Water Working Group
Description:
The WWG is sponsored by Berkeley's Institute of International Studies, and co-sponsored by the Center for Sustainable Resource Development. It meets once a month to discuss a particular water problem, and at least two approaches to its resolution. These approaches could be regional comparisons or methodological comparisons. Each session features two speakers followed by questions and discussion.
