I am interested in better understanding chemical exposures and risk that face communities using passive sampling.

Preservation of genomic integrity requires the proper functioning of multiple pathways for DNA replication, repair, and recombination. One critical repair pathway is DNA mismatch repair (MMR) which helps ensure genomic stability by correcting potentially mutagenic mismatches arising during DNA...

I am a second year PhD student working in the Tilton lab. Currently, my research is focused on developing a co-culture model combining 3D primary human bronchial epithelial cells with macrophages to assess toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as either individual chemicals or mixtures...

I'm primarily interested in the effects micro- and nanoplastics have on other chemicals in the environment, and my research focuses on the effects of these plastic particles to the toxicity of PAHs.

My goal through obtaining a PhD in Toxicology is to gain a greater understanding of biological and molecular processes as they relate to human health.

Dr. Duringer's research program focuses on the impacts of natural plant components on food safety and agricultural productivity by:

1. Examining the biochemical effects, mechanisms of toxicity and ultimate biotransformation of plant and fungal toxicants in humans and animals;...

I am a third year PhD student working in the Water Quality Toxicology Lab. My research is focused on using high-resolution mass spectrometry as a tool to characterize chemical contaminants in natural and human-made aqueous systems, including irrigation canals, rivers, and drinking water and...

Water quality is impacted by land management practices, industrial and urban development, and climate change. Surface waters are widely used as drinking water sources, food production, and recreational activities. Hence, their quality needs to be continuously monitored. However, current...

Current research centers around the histopathology of chemically induced neoplasia in rainbow trout.  Specific research projects include: 1) Identifying natural inhibitors of carcinogenesis and understanding their mechanisms of action in rainbow trout; 2) Continued development of the rainbow...

Research Interests Involve the Study of Molecules that Disrupt the Flow of Information from DNA to Protein including:  Antisense Oligonucleotide Drug Development, Targeting Emergent Infectious Diseases, Rare Genetic Disorders, Cancer and Metabolic Syndrome; RNA Damage and Novel...

Current research activities include field studies to examine the impact of pesticide use on air and water quality, studies designed to investigate human and wildlife exposure as a result of pesticide use in both agricultural and urban settings, studies which investigate how sub-lethal...

Dr. Craig Marcus received his PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison  and conducted post doctoral research at Cornell University and UW-Madison. He has served on the faculty at Purdue University, the University of New Mexico, and is currently  Professor of Toxicology  in  Environmental...

Mechanisms of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) toxicity in zebrafish

Integrated pest management (IPM) on tree fruits; IPM programs as components of integrated fruit production (IFP) systems.

Research activities involve studies on the biology, ecology and management of insect and mite pests and their natural enemies on deciduous tree fruits. Main research...

My research interests align at the intersection of toxicology, public health and research translation. Specific interests include multi-modal data dissemination, disaster research and air pollution.

Dr. Stubblefield is an internationally recognized expert in the field of environmental toxicology, with a research focus on the area of aquatic toxicology and ecotoxicology.  Previously an adjunct faculty member, Dr. Stubblefield has recently joined EMT (Sept. 2009) full time and will be...

Research Focus:  Mechanistic and computational toxicology, organotypic in vitro models, inhalation toxicology, chemical mixtures,...

The overall goal of my research program is to utilize the zebrafish model to help build computational predictive toxicity models. Secondarily, my goal is to move the field to be less reliant on animal testing and to conduct...

I am a PhD student studying under Dr. Susan Tilton.  My current research focuses on using a 3D respiratory model to better understand how pre-existing conditions, like asthma, impact the way polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are metabolized and if their toxicity is changed by the presence of...

Dr. Waters is a Laboratory Fellow and Director for Biological Sciences Research at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory with a joint faculty appointment at OSU. Her research interests are focused at the intersection of environmental exposures and infectious disease on human health through...
