Profile Summary

My current work as a NIEHS postdoctoral trainee consists of screening and categorizing 6,000 distinct chemicals found in the environment, consumer products, or used in manufacturing processes in order to assess phenotypic and transcriptional changes relevant to human disease. Additionally, I am collaborating with AsedaSciences to integrate their high throughput in vitro screening system (SYSTEMETRIC®) and the Tanguay Lab's zebrafish screening assay (ZBEscreen ™) to predict chemical developmental/neurotoxicity. Previous work as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at HWU involved investigations into the health and environmental risk which may result from exposure to engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) through the use of various laboratory models (zebrafish, algae, daphnia) within the EU Horizon 2020 PATROLS project. During my PhD I studied polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and how the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) altered PAH photochemistry and photoproduct formation by employing gene expression and analytical chemistry techniques (qPCR, GC-MS). Previous work has included assessing immunotoxicity of inorganic arsenic (iAs) through suppression of the innate immune response, developmental toxicity of high-nitrogen compounds, silver/gold NPs, and utilizing larval zebrafish to study the ability of particular chemicals to prevent/mitigate T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (TALL) metastasis, and many other studies involving environmental contaminants.

All previous and current research has exploited the dynamic zebrafish model. With nearly 13 years of experience utilizing this model, the research and techniques have been diverse; ranging from embryonic to adult investigations of toxicity, metastasis, and the larval application as a biological probe to elucidate complex environmental chemistry mechanisms.
