WELCOME TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND MOLECULAR TOXICOLOGY

The integrated mission of the Department of Environmental & Molecular Toxicology (EMT) is to educate students in the toxicological sciences, to conduct research on the effects of chemicals and other agents on humans and the environment and to engage the public through extension and outreach. The EMT Department focuses on creating, disseminating, and applying new knowledge to enhance the treatment and prevention of human disease and to ensure the protection of the environment and public health.

Please Welcome Our New Associate Professor (Senior Research) Dr. Diana Rohlman!


Research Interests: I work as a community-engaged toxicologist, working with communities and organizations to ask and answer questions about the chemicals they may be exposed to. My research focuses on reporting back research results to community partners, to understand how they use toxicological information to make evidence-based decisions. 

Please Welcome Our New Visiting Scholar Jiaju Fu!


His research interest is about PFAS feature analysis and transport behavior in water environments.

 

 

We would like to share a new paper from Environmental and Molecular Toxicology PhD candidate, Miranda Jackson. Her paper, entitled "Comparative Toxicity of Micro, Nano, and Leachate Fractions of Three Rubber Materials to Freshwater Species: Zebrafish and Daphnia", revealed variations in toxicity among different rubber particle types and sizes, with implications for survival in aquatic organisms. Tire particles elicited particle-specific effects in both organisms and significantly reduced the amount of algae consumed by the zooplankton, Daphnia magna.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



The Agricultural Research Foundation awarded Dr. Serhan Mermer $15,000 to fund his research proposal, titled:

"Toxicity and Metabolomic Effects of Trisiloxane Surfactants (Tss) on Honey Bees"

OSU 3MT Competition
The Three Minute Thesis competition celebrates the exciting research conducted by Doctor of Philosophy students. 3MT cultivates and rewards students' academic, presentation and research communication skills.

The "People's Choice Award" winner (voted by the entire audience at the competition) was Esteban Hernandez from Chemistry and EMT.
