Genetic toxicology assays for chemical screening and monitoring wildlife

Environmental pollutants can cause genetic damage to wildlife, which can have impacts at the population level. Thus, identifying chemicals and complex mixtures that can cause genetic damage and monitoring their effects in exposed wildlife populations is an important component of chemical and ecological risk assessment and management. This project will apply modern methods in molecular biology to develop tools for measuring genetic damage in cultured cells, laboratory animals, and wild species. These tools will be used to screen large numbers of chemicals for potential genotoxicity in the laboratory, and to monitor the genetic health of wildlife species in polluted areas.
