Research interests
We aim to conduct research that makes a meaningful impact, both scientifically and for society at large. Our work integrates experimental model systems, computational toxicology, omics tools, and epidemiological research to investigate gene-environment interactions and the influence of the exposome—including endocrine-disrupting chemicals, pesticides, metals, and particulate air pollution—on wildlife and human health while elucidating underlying molecular mechanisms. We are particularly interested in understanding how male environmental exposure affects the health of children and grandchildren through paternal epigenetic inheritance. Additionally, we focus on developing New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) to better study the effects of chemicals, enhance risk assessment, and ultimately make chemicals and drugs safer.
