Current Research Interests
•Biomarkers of stress: cellular (morphometrics; immuno-toxicology), molecular-genetic (microarrays, qPCR), and physicochemical assays (FTIR micro-spectroscopy; SIMS imaging).
•Metal relationships of invertebrates: sub-cellular partitioning (electron microprobe) and speciation (electron spin resonance; synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopy.
•Micro-evolutionary processes: metal/metalloid resistance mechanisms in earthworm populations inhabiting abandoned mine soils and non-anthropogenic volcanic soils; epigenetics.
•Engineered metallo-nanoparticles: ecotoxicology, imaging & cytotoxicity in receptor organisms
