Research
Our laboratory focuses on elucidating the toxicological
mechanisms by which pesticides (primarily synthetic pyrethroids)
affect the onset of puberty and neurodevelopment. Specifically how
chronic, low dose exposures (in utero and peripubertal) interfere
with signaling in the hypothalamus and the cerebellum. We are also
collaborating, with Dr. Christie Sayes (VTPP), on a
project that uses nanochemistry to ameliorate the toxic effects of
pesticides with an aim to create new products which address the
specific limitations of currently used pesticides.
