Research Interests:
Chemical-biological interactions, especially receptor-mediated mechanisms
governing interactions of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (especially chlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls) with fish and other aquatic
wildlife. Major focus is on the comparative biochemistry and molecular biology
of the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor. Related interests include: Endocrine
disruption by environmental contaminants. Regulation of cytochrome P450 forms
in aquatic species. Cell culture systems in aquatic toxicology. Biological
effects of marine natural products.
