Our lab studies developmental toxicity of environmental chemicals using zebrafish as a model. We use high-content screening, multi-omics strategies and reverse genetics to understand molecular dynamics underlying adverse effects to developmental exposures. Our emphasis is studying neurodevelopment and diet x toxicant interactions. We are specifically interested in understanding role of micro RNA and methylome as regulators of gene expression changes. Strategies include:
high content screening
multi-omics
gene editing and reverse genetics
forward genetics
imaging
behavioral assays
We are temporarily located on Jordan Hall 319. We look forward to have trainees from diverse backgrounds in our lab and promote inclusive excellence.
Excited about two PhD students joining the lab in the Fall- Kanchaka Pathiraja from Sri Lanka and Syed Rubaiyat Ferdous from Bangladesh!!
We welcome postdoc Dr. Sunil Sharma to the lab! Sunil comes from Guru Nanak Dev University in India where he has a PhD in Aquatic Toxicology.
