We are an environmental chemistry and molecular toxicology research group at Carleton University. We study how contaminants, especially per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), move from consumer products and environmental sources into biological systems, how they transform, and how they influence molecular pathways linked to health.

WHAT WE DO

Exposure

We identify how contaminants such as PFAS enter people and ecosystems through everyday products and environmental pathways.

Transformation

We investigate how these chemicals change in environmental and biological systems, including microbial and metabolic processes.

Mechanisms

We study how these transformations affect molecular signaling pathways linked to toxicity and disease.
