Environmental and Molecular Toxicology

Systems biology, mechanisms of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and mixtures toxicity in the 2D/3D human bronchial epithelium. 

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 study the multiple stressor effects of pollution and climate change in the model estuarine fish species Menidia beryllina. I am primarily interested in linking genetic data to adverse outcomes, such as altered behavior or fecundity, to inform computational models.

I am interested in understanding the mechanisms of action by which polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) cause developmental toxicity.
