Masters alumna: EPA Fellowship Studying the Effects of Environmental Chemicals on Developmental Neurotoxicity and Endocrinology Research Project: Research at ORD/CPHEA/PHITD/NETB is focused on providing a scientific foundation to identify hazardous chemicals, assessing their potential risk and safeguard both public health and the environment.  More specifically, we are interested in protecting both women and children’s health with a focus on developmental neurotoxicology. Our research uses molecular and immunocytochemistry techniques to identify biomarkers of environmental chemical exposures (high priority emerging chemicals including perfluorinated …

Master’s and Doctoral alumna:  Research Project: This project aims to develop analysis methods and resources to facilitate mechanism of action inference for chemicals screened with high-dimensional bioactivity assays such as high throughput transcriptomics and/or cell painting. This endeavor will involve developing novel statistical approaches to interpreting high dimensional data streams as well as interacting with chemical bio-assay databases and software packages (both publicly available and custom, in-house tools). The project integrates toxicology, bioinformatics, data science, software engineering, and applied statistics. Learning …
