Ecotoxicology Group
The ecotoxicology group studies the sublethal effects of contaminants and other environmental stressors on the physiology of fish and wildlife. It uses molecular tools including genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, for the development of biomarkers of exposure and effects to environmental contaminants. It also studies bioaccumulation rates and factors affecting bioavailability of contaminants in biota.
Aquaculture and Aquaculture Nutrition Group
The aquaculture and aquaculture nutrition group is interested in nutritional requirements, nutrient metabolism and the evaluation of feedstuffs, in cultured aquatic animals. Current research is focused on the use of proteomic and metabolomic approaches in aquatic animal nutrition research.
This lab is located on the Purdue University campus in the Forestry Building in Rooms 104/105.
