Marine Toxicology

In our marine toxicology work, we seek to understand how toxic a chemical is to a marine species in an effort to understand how environmental pollutants might be endangering them. We focus on damage to DNA, since this type of damage can interfere with the ability of these species to reproduce and the ability of their offspring to survive. Thus our hypothesis is that environmental contaminants are decreasing the reproductive success of marine species.

Current marine toxicology projects in the Wise Laboratory of Genetic and Environmental Toxicology include:
