Research Interests

My research focus is on understanding how chemical exposure causes neurotoxicity outcomes using zebrafish as a model organism. To do this, I use a combination of automated developmental toxicity and developmental neurotoxicity assays and behavioral barcoding. My work also uses gene editing to understand mechanisms that govern toxicity effects in the early life stage of zebrafish.
