Hire Dr. Breanna F.

United States

Profile Summary

I am a recent doctoral graduate from the endocrinology graduate program at the University of California, Berkeley. I earned my B.S. in Molecular Toxicology at UC Berkeley. I am an interdisciplinary scientist with expertise in molecular toxicology, chemical biology, biochemistry, and computational biology. In my graduate career, I have combined all of these skills to advance and apply innovative chemoproteomic and metabolomic technologies to map proteome-wide targets of widely used pharmaceutical, environmental chemicals and their metabolites towards understanding their toxicological mechanisms of action.
