RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Exposure

We identify how organic contaminants enter people and ecosystems through everyday products and environmental pathways.​

 

Transformation

We investigate how these chemicals change in biological systems, including microbial and metabolic processes. ​

 

Mechanisms

We study how these transformations affect molecular signalling pathways linked to toxicity and disease.

 

Understanding how contaminants move, transform, and interact with biology is essential for assessing risk, informing regulation, and protecting human and ecosystem health. 

JOIN THE LAB

We welcome inquiries from undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows interested in environmental chemistry, analytical chemistry, and toxicology.
