Department:
Nutritional Science and Toxicology, Associate Professor
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.
