Development and use of molecular and biochemical methods to determine the effects of priority organic chemicals, chemical mixtures, and other environmental stressors in avian species

This project involves the development of biochemical and molecular approaches that can be used to determine the effects of priority environmental chemicals, legacy chemicals, environmental mixtures, and other environmental stressors on avian species. In vitro screening methods and non-invasive techniques to measure overall stress are used to address such questions with domestic and wild avian species. The fundamental goal of the study is to expand our understanding of toxic chemical effects and other ecological stressors on wildlife and to generate data to support the protection of the environment and conservation of biodiversity and habitat.
