Research Interests Include Nuclear Hormone Receptor Signaling, Cytochrome P450 Gene Structure/Function/Characterization/Evolution; Rational Drug Development; Structure-based drug desing; Antisense Oligonucleotides and Gene-directed Therapeutics; Targeted and Untargeted Metabolomics; Vitamin D...

Our group is elucidating the mechanisms by which chemicals induce cancer.   The research focuses on carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), widespread environmental pollutants, and how they interact with DNA to cause mutations and cancer.   Specific research projects deal with the...

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.

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...

I am particularly interested in aquatic ecotoxicology involving stormwater runoff toxicity in salmonid species.

The overall goals of my research program are to understand the mechanisms by which chemicals of environmental significance interact with the immune system. Such interactions may result in altered immune function leading to decreased resistance to infectious diseases and increased susceptibility...

Our laboratory has expertise in the investigation of biological...

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...

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...

I'm interested in using zebrafish to better understand the toxicity of polyclicaromatic hydrocarbons through transcriptomics, fate studies, and comparison to other models.

Our laboratory uses zebrafish as a systems toxicology model to identify hazardous chemicals and the mechanisms that underlie their...

I am an environmental chemist with expertise in the analysis of organic pollutants using GC-MS

My research interests focus on environmental carcinogens with an emphasis on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), formed from the incomplete combustion of carbon materials (coal, wood, petroleum, etc.).  We seek to determine not only how these chemicals cause cancer but also approaches for...
