Primary Training Group:

Integrative Neuroscience

Research Areas:

Neurotoxicology; environmentally-induced neurodegeneration; animal and cellular model development; translational toxicology; toxic responses across biological scale; comparative neurobiology in neurodegeneration

Current Projects:

1. Organophosphate (pesticide origin) induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity. 2. Heterocyclic aromatic amine (dietary origin) neurotoxicity. 3. PFAS (forever chemicals) induced adverse neuropsychiatric and neurological outcomes. 4. Inherent neurobiological factors critical to cell type specific neurotoxicity.

Importance of Interdisciplinary Research:

Toxicology is an applied science that draws upon many disciplines. Interdisciplinary research is essential to understanding how toxic exposures impact living systems.
