Pharmacologist/Toxicologist. The primary areas of interest are: environmental toxicology, mixture toxicology, and the impact of water contaminants on environmental health and human health. Technological focus is on the development of bioassay systems that utilize aquatic animals to evaluate toxicity resulting from exposure to water contaminants, including contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs like BTEX). Biological impact is measured by optical tracking of swimming behavior and cardiorespiratory function, and the detection of differentially expressed genes as potential biomarkers.
