personal_statement: Natalie's laboratory uses genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, | |||
microbiomic, endocrine, and biochemical tools to develop novel biomarkers and | |||
assessment tools and applies these in collaborative field and laboratory studies | |||
that investigate regional, national, and international environmental health | |||
questions. Current projects in her lab fall under the broad scope of ecotoxicology, | |||
focusing on immune system and disease susceptibility, endocrine disruption, | |||
genotoxicity, and health status of birds and other wildlife. Hazards and toxicity | |||
of contemporary contaminants, such as perfluorinated compounds (PFAS), flame | |||
retardants and neonicotinoid pesticides are of particular interest. The data | |||
are used for forecasting effects on individuals and populations, identifying | |||
wildlife that are potentially being harmed, assessing damage to trust resources, | |||
and otherwise informing natural resource management decisions. |
