Profile Summary

I am a molecular biologist with specific expertise in environmental toxicology and genomics. In recent years my work has focused on the application of transcriptomics and in vitro approaches to investigating the effects and mechanisms of action of environmental contaminants. I have worked extensively with endocrine-active organic pollutants as well as metals and metal mixtures, primarily in aquatic organisms.
