Neurotoxicology. Specifically studying how exposure to environmental toxicants can lead to genetic changes that affect neural development and can result in neurodegenerative disorders. I am currently working on a research project studying how ion channel gene transcription is affected in mice cerebellum after postnatal methylmercury exposure.
