Teaching

Research in my group is based on my expertise in genetics and epigenetics of toxic compounds in our environment. I have extensive experience from research on human epidemiological studies including advanced analysis of exposure and molecular biomarkers. My recent work has been on adverse effects of exposure to toxicants early in life and genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of toxicity for which I use large-scale system biology approaches.
